A gasoline- or propane-powered auxiliary power unit (i.e. generator) would be a much better power source for that than the truck's diesel engine.

- tgsovlerkhgsel 5y agoWould a typical cheap gasoline generator (small and likely unoptimized engine) be better than a modern diesel car engine?
- odonnellryan 5y agoProbably not. Cheap gas generators use a ton of fuel.
- odonnellryan 5y agoI dunno if that is really accurate. A diesel engine is really just a generator.
- woodruffw 5y agoElectric perhaps, but I'm not sure about a gas generator -- two-stroke engines tend to be very polluting.
