+ Unlimited fuel (no need to refuel)

+ Nice combustion

+ Available during power failure

+ Relatively cheap

+ Quieter engines compared to diesel and gasoline

Disadvantages

- Possibly unavailable during natural disasters (earthquakes, etc.)

- approx. 10% loss of power

- Higher installation costs

- Not always available

- Shorter lifespan. There is more wear because it is dry fuel

- Unavailable when working on site

. Diesel

Advantages

+ Least flammable, therefore least dangerous

+ Easily available

+ Longer lifespan of the engine compared to natural gas (dry combustion)

+ Relatively cheap, cheaper than gasoline in Europe

+ Possibility to place a bigger external tank, home delivery is possible

Disadvantages

- Short shelf life: 18-24 months

- Big storage tanks = increased installation costs

- Possibly unavailable during power failure

- Not suited for shorter periods

- Watch out for moisture

- Heavy

- It takes a couple of seconds before the chamber where combustion takes place is warmed up enough (preheating)

Gasoline

Advantages

+ Common fuel (easily available)

+ More convenient for shorter periods

+ Starts up immediately

+ Improves mobility of smaller generating sets

+ Relatively light compared to diesel generating sets

+ Quieter engines compared to diesel engines

+ Longer lifespan of the engine compared to natural gas (dry combustion)

Disadvantages

- Extremely flammable

- Short shelf life: approx. 12 months

- Relatively expensive compared to diesel

- Higher consumption

- Storage of considerable quantities is dangerous. Max. 50L storage is allowed

- Possibly unavailable during power failure

- Risk of clogging the conduits after long downtime. Gasoline affects the carburetor
