This unit supplies 120/240 AC power to our home and shop.

The engine is mounted on two rail road ties buried in the ground.

 "Lizzie" lives outside and hand crank starting at zero degrees is a young mans sport.

 This 5hp gas "pony motor" makes winter starting of a Listeroid plum easy ... even for an old duffer!

Simply start the gas engine ... slip a "V" belt over the flywheel and around the pulley on the gasser. The Gasser is mounted on a slid so you simply slide the gasser to tighten the belt and Lizzie is off and spinning ... after a few turns ... off with the compression release and wala ... she is running.

The copper tube on the right is one of the heat exchangers to pre-heat WVO. Amo can on the right holds the heated WVO. The green fuel tank in the upper right holds diesel for starting and shut down.

Alternator and 5kw ST generator both drive off of the flywheel on the right. Both use flat serpentine belts.

Thermostat is contained in the green flange with the 3/4 pipe which is attached to the head.

The spacer with the copper tube between the head and the thermostat flange provide hot head water to the WVO pre heat system.

The amo box WVO tank has 3/8 copper tube loop inside near the bottom for hot water. It is soldered to the amo box end

Hot water from the head supplies heated water to two heat exchangers, fuel filter, fuel lines and WVO fuel tank

The black pipe insulation covers the second heat exchanger just prior to the injection pump which is located on left end of the heat exchanger. There is one heat exchanger before the fuel filter and one after.

If the vertical pipe were replaced with a clear tube of some sort the oil level could be seen without pulling the dip stick.

To drain the oil ... remove the cap, turn the pipe down and open the valve.

As of a few days ago I am starting and shutting down on biodiesel ... no more $2.50 per gallon diesel fuel from the pump in town.
