Howdy folks.

I'm looking for suggestions for a small simple water cooled diesel engine suitable for genset/cogen use, that would be tolerant to alternative fuels and not cost a bundle to acquire or work on. I know we have a lot of smart people here, I thought I'd check with you folks for engines that might fit this role.

My thoughts were Lister or Listeroid 6/1, Changfa 195 or other Yanmar clones. Possibly the Isuzu C201 or other reefer engine, although that's more hp/more complexity than I'd wanted.

Eventual goal would be an alternative fuel genset/cogen for the house/shop.

Any ideas? Thanks.
