109 .. need the space for bug out gear and tools to keep the fucker running .. diesel or petrol is the question .. you can convert petrol to run on ethanol in a SHTF and brew your own but you can also run a diesel on refined veg oil .. tough call :)

Well the petrol can be started with the hand crank (yes seriously, go check out what's behind that weird hole in the front galvo bumper).

Diesel is impossible to turn over using that, compression ratio too high.

The petrol is also a hell of a lot more powerful.

true but the diesel is less complex .. its a tough one especially with the newer blocks and heads being used on older machines (no turbo naturally) .. but as you say more power from the petrol/ethanol and handcrank option - i had a friend who had a hydraulic generator welder that attached to the back axle somehow - nifty british cold war tech
