But a very intresting soluton.
Im sure it would burn a gallon or two of fuel every hour VS a half a gal. So thats another factor.
Plus like you said is it good to run the v10 for 8 hours standing still at same RPM? What bout the tremendous heat from the Cat? All of the wear and tear on the engine. Must quicker and cheaper to pull out the genny and repair or replace.

And California will outlaw this practice in a heartbeat due to the increased emissions of the V10 operating at idle for hours at a time.
