shfd739 pretty much answered the generator question. In generator spec'd units I sell, Wheeled Coach uses a diesel generator and the down side is the noise and weight. The up side is being diesel, you don't have to have the extra gasoline fuel tank and there is less chance of an EMT or paramedic half asleep at 2am putting gas in the diesel or vise-versa. To be fair however, Frazer will sell you gasoline powered chassis (Chev or Dodge) so that problem wouldn't exist. Even though I sell another brand, I will admit that Frazer has its "pros" and "cons" (like most manufacturers out there), and most folks that use them seem to like them. Thank God everybody likes something different and "one size doesn't fit all" <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

I kinda miss my gas chassis Chevy 3500. My unit was remounted last year onto the new style Chevy with a Duramax. Our previous chassis was an '02 Chevy with the 6.0 gas engine. The gas was quieter than the diesel and wound up being more reliable with fuel use almost even; heck the truck went to 260k miles with no major engine repairs. Only downside was less power with alot more foot to the floor trying to get up to speed moments than in the Duramax. Another plus of the gas chassis was the genny pulled off one of the chassis tanks so there wasnt a special tank to fill.
If I remember right the only time we've had gas in the diesel tanks was intentional on the crews part for whatever reason. I dont recall any diesel going in the gas tank.
