I guess if they are running constantly for 3 years under load imagine what sort of milage that'd be in a car.

[Busy Daddy]

yes and maybe running a bit rich or lean , how long would a petrol car run for if the mix wasn't correct or even one of your huskies Mr gray

[Gray git]

Not long that's for sure! As long as they run long enough to turn a decent profit and pay to be renewed it'd be reet

All down to the quality of the gas and the quality of the engine. If it was a Jenbacher engine you would expert at least 10 years generating before the need for a refurbishment.

 

To put it in context my to girls have been generating since 1938 and are good for at least another 50 years.

No traditional steam cycle but using thermal oil boiler and thermal oil steam evaporator instead of the normal pressurized steam boiler.

Waiting in the wings for UK govt to approve as direct substitute for diesel. To be honest I think its being stopped by the oil lobby but its hard to prove that.
