C18 Marine Generator Set
The C18 is the latest generator and brings commonality with our petroleum products as well as interfacing improvements. We have also taken this opportunity to add new price list options. All engine ratings and emissions certifications are the same, however we have been able to increase the power output of the generator for 12 of the 14 ratings.
