Sorry about the downtime. Seattle had a wind storm that brought down the data center. I'll shopping for generators now. A 100KW unit should do the trick.

I'll try not to. I have a meeting with Cummins next week to talk generators.

Ouch! Is there another fund raiser in the works? What KW is needed?

The generator is for work. It is not coming out of my personal budget. I'm planning for a 100K watt unit. I just need to decide if I want to go diesel or propane/natural gas.

I'm sure glad you got it going again, I was already having withdrawal symptoms :)

100K will use a lot of propane per hour. What ever you use you will need a big fuel tank. Make sure you check that. Natural gas has an advantage of unlimited supply and you will just have to deal with the bill later. But you don't have to worry about running out of fuel. I take it you have natural gas available to your building.
