Are you talking about this thread? http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...uck-30845.html I feel like the hybrid route using an electric motor and battery would be better, especially if the low power motor will be used mainly close to home. Why not have the big engine just turn off when its not in use? The small engine could easily handle the accessory load while burning less extra fuel than the big engine idling.
