I am new to staionary engines but want to make a crude combined heat and power system for my shed. I have 500 litres of heating oil to use up. Can I run it neat after switching over from petrol when hot or do I have to add something else

Guidance appreciated!

Im 50/50 decided what to get now

Do i go for a 3Hp Tank Cooled Petter M or a Appletop 1.5hp?

I like the idea of having the tank cooled because you dont see many on the fields but aswell you dont see many appletops on the fields....

Another thing is the tank cooled will take up more room

If i had the money i will have both of course!!

The questions i have can be answered in many ways and depending on the engine: How would it have been transported for example something like a large tangye engine? Would the engine had to have been assembled on site? For smaller engines eg, Lister Ds would they have been in a crate, would the engines have come with some kinda warranty? Was it up to the owner to fix any engine problems or did ...

It has come to my attention there has been members using "Text Slang"

This is very annoying for members to read your posts!

Therefore i ask members to refrain from using this type of slang!!!

Is a condenser required in the circuit?
