Default Rehash please - best non-gas generators

I was thinking of replacing my gasoline generator with a diesel and
running it off the fuel oil tank.


Never been so happy as when I sold my home with oil-fired steam and bought
one with gas-fired steam heating. *Was even better after the remodel to
water-circulating baseboard heat (and a lot more of remodeling).

I second the suggestion to go with a generator that can
be modified to use natural gas, propane or gasoline.
Some of those kits are one time conversion, some are
reversible or even allow any of the 3 to be used. Only
draw back from what I've seen those kits cost ~$250
which is almost the price of the generator.

I'd want natural gas, since I have that available
and it's almost always still there during outages.
