Dave,
I have sold 8 Eco-Gens so far and first impressions are great. I wasn't
aware of the govt funded research but it makes sense. I have one installed on
top of Herrick Mtn doing an average of 4 hours a day backing up a transmitter
site. This winter will be the test. So far we have almost 500 hours on it
(first oil change coming up) and no problems. This is a remote site with only
snowmobile access in winter. The gen is doing great on fuel economy. About .7
gph at 2300 watt load.
