Will check further but *heard* there was a China built diesel.

While looking up diesel outboards, I stumbled upon:
http://duropower.com/item.asp?PID=132&FID=14&level=1

This is my 7.5KW Chinese diesel genset, which, of course, I run on a
mixture of 1 gallon mineral spirits to 50 gallons of cleaned used vegetable
oil from 3 Chinese restaurants.....free power like my old diesel Mercedes
cars and 6.5L diesel stepvan.

You can tell it's "heavy duty"....noone in my neighborhood can lift it to
steal it....(d^

Nice price! $1700 for about 7KW of diesel AC power. Laugh at Chinese, but
it starts in about 3 seconds after you use the preheater and the only thing
I've done to it since I got it was change the oil every 100 hours with
Rotella T 15W40.

Bad side effect is the neighborhood cats standing around it, sometimes.
The Chinese restaurants I get the fuel from cook a lot of fish and the fish
oil burning draws the cats like a magnet to a steel hull!
