Diesel Battery Charger

[bobbiemartin]

You will need Facebook to see the ad, but it looks pretty
neat. A Yanmar single cylinder diesel battery charger. From the ad: Yanmar L40 diesel powered 65 amp 12 volt battery charger. Brand new alternator , brand new cables. Fresh oil change. Very low hours on the motor. Doesn't smoke, doesn't leak and starts easy.
A real gem of a unit perfect for marine, automotive or off grid. $500

Don't contact me, I know nothing about it, I just thought it was cool. It's located in Yankeetown, FL

Lombardini, it’s the Italian Briggs and Stratton but a little cooler in that they’re diesel and Briggs is not.

I probably wouldn't like that

air cooled diesels are very loud,it will run for days on little fuel.
have you ever driven by one of those sign boards with it running?
wow!

Speaking of air cooled diesels, here is a 5 cylinder Deutz, ~100hp.

I've seen and driven by my share of those and you can hear them before you see them. Even with my bad hearing

These are common on man lifts, they are quite loud. Have spent many a day listening to one of these, you get in the habit of shutting down the engine when your not maneuvering.
