spark-ignited engines, and you’ll find them on every Generac
gaseous-fueled generator. We engineer and manufacture
Wisconsin. Applying natural gas and LP-fueled engines to
generators requires advanced engineering expertise to
ensure reliability, durability and necessary performance. By
designing specifically for these dry, hotter-burning fuels, the
engines last longer and require less maintenance. Building
our own engines also means we control every step of the
supply chain and delivery process, so you benefit from
single-source responsibility.
Plus, Generac Industrial Power’s distribution network
provides all parts and service so you don’t have to deal with
third-party suppliers. It all leads to a positive owner
experience and higher confidence level. Generac spark-

ignited engines give you more options in commercial and

industrial generator applications as well as extended run time
from utility-supplied natural gas.
