Diesel
Compared to Gasoline Mixers of similar size, Diesel are more powerful and cosume a lesser volume of Fuel compared to Gasoline. Diesel Engines are more solid built (Compression is much higher). As for Maintenance Intervals, Diesel Equipment have longer Intervals between Servicing. They also have fewer components that can fail unexpectedly. For this reason, they are preferred for Continuous Duty Operations and Mission-Critical Jobs.
Versatility Without the Grid - Gasoline and Diesel Mixers offer flexibility for jobsites where electricity is not available. Whether you're working in off-grid areas or undeveloped construction zones, Gas and Diesel Engines eliminate the need for an Electrical Hookup.
Smoke - Diesel Engines tend to produce more Smoke than Gasoline Models (Especially older Diesel Models). This is especially important because mixers are stationary and unlike moving vehicles, fumes build up fast in the work zone.
Fuel Handling and Storage
Gasoline is a more volatile Fuel than Diesel, which can pose greater challenges in: Fueling, Transporting, Extreme Heat and Indoor Storage. Gasoline also contains Ethanol, which can degrade fuel systems over time if not used regularly.
Diesel Fuel is Safer to Store, and has a longer Shelf Life—making it more suitable for Storage and Overwintering. However, Diesel can Gel in extremely cold temperatures, potentially requiring Fuel Additives or Pre-Heating equipment in frigid climates.
