[6x6TRex]

Spotted this gem on craigslist today!

military propane or gasoline genrator 5kw - $300
i have a 4 cylinder military gasoline or propane generator was used for back up has a whole 10hrs on it like brand new 5+kw you can hard wire this into your home or business



Does anyone have the tm that shows me how to convert my 3kw into a 5kw?

Probably just needs a turbo added.

It common for sellers on craig's list, ebay, etc. to claim higher KW ratings on military generators than the actual data plate value, with MEP-016 family generators often claimed to be 5KW instead of 3KW, MEP-002a's claimed at 7 KW instead of 5KW, etc. I have mixed feelings about this practice on the one hand it is not totally honest, on the other it does bring the ratings closer in line with the standby ratings of their civilian commercial generator cousins (Onan rated their DJE powered units (same engine as the MEP-002a) at 6 KW for contractor models often found in light tower trailers, and 7 or 7.5 KW their commercial stanby sets).
