How true! In Southeast Asia, my air cav outfit ran their gen sets 24 hours a
day the entire tour. They even devised ways to change the oil without shutting
down. I didn't see any failures, except for one which blew out a filter
cartridge and shut down automatically. I don't think there is a commercial
unit that could do that in all weather, continuous duty.
