I'm sure theres lots of place in San Diego, but do any places sell 15-25kw Diesel gens in Ensenada??
We are looking to avoid importation hassles, of course of much better deals are a "otro lado" then......astrobaja - 8-20-2008 at 04:09 PM
I bought one just like that in T.J. and they sell them here in Ensenada also. just look in the phone book. I bought mine used for 5,000US and it had
2,000 hours on it I ran it for another 5,000 hours and sold it for 6,000 us it was still like new and very quiettripledigitken - 8-20-2008 at 09:08 PM

Bob,
The manufacturer's specs for the MQ rated it at 56 DBs at full load, and the honda at 58 DB. That is what I was referring to.

Hi Bob & Susan,
You said importation was easy, did you just drive across the border with it and take care of paperwork on the spot or did you use a broker?
I think one with wheels would just have its use getting it here to the sierra, but after you can take the hitch off to dissuade theft.
We have a little Honda 2000eu its amazing a 32hp diesel is actually quieter than that!
THANKS

Thats good news you like your unit! Also good news they are available in Ensenada, I will ask around but any idea which tienda?
I put in an e-mail to MQ power perhaps they can steer me there.
have it all set up to autostart an inverter
they know all about this stuff
give them a call or email them
no tax as you are buying the thing for mexico AND you are in another state
have them ship it to the broker and supply him the orginal sales receipt
oh yea...i'd contact him FIRST...
figure about 22% tax and import fees for the whole deal to get it across
shipping to your place will be about $5-600 or less
you'll be suprised
the broker will import it AND arange the shipping by truck to your door
you'll just need to have something to get it off the truck when it arrives...
it's heavy
we used a tractor with a couple of "pallet teeth" on the loader
get the BIGGEST tank for fuel you can get...
filling the thing is ALWAYS a pain...and stinky
you unit you are looking at has a 45 gallon tank
that will last you only about 4 days until empty
the unit should use about 1/2 a gallon of diesel an hour at 1/2 load
you NEVER want to let a diesel run dry
the trailer will get you into trouble...
you dont want that much current "movin" around
these things are pretty dangerous
also no one will steal a "bolted down" HEAVY diesel generator
and it IS heavy
