The 6.8 kVA Yanmar Powered Diesel Generator with Recoil & E-Start is a dependable single-phase diesel generator built for users who need consistent power in mobile, rural, and worksite environments.

Powered by a proven Yanmar diesel engine, this unit delivers stable output for tools, equipment, and site essentials where reliability matters more than complexity.

Why the 6.8 kVA Yanmar Powered Diesel Generator with Recoil & E-Start is a practical choice

This generator is designed for real-world use, not showroom specs.

The 6.8 kVA Yanmar Powered Diesel Generator with Recoil & E-Start balances usable power, fuel efficiency, and portability, making it suitable for trades, backup power, and remote applications where diesel reliability is preferred.

6.8 kVA Yanmar Powered Diesel Generator with Recoil & E-Start power output

With a 6.8 kVA rating at 0.8 power factor and a 7 kVA alternator, this generator provides steady single-phase power for common tools and appliances.

Running at 230V single phase, it integrates easily into standard Australian setups without the need for specialised connections.

This makes it suitable for workshops, job sites, sheds, and temporary power needs.

Yanmar diesel performance in the 6.8 kVA Yanmar Powered Diesel Generator with Recoil & E-Start

At the heart of the generator is the Yanmar L100N5 engine, known for durability and consistent fuel efficiency.

Operating at 3000 rpm, it delivers reliable performance while keeping the unit compact enough for mobile use.

Diesel operation also offers safer fuel handling and improved efficiency for longer working days compared to petrol alternatives.

Easy starting with recoil and electric start

The 6.8 kVA Yanmar Powered Diesel Generator with Recoil & E-Start features both electric start and recoil start capability.

Electric start allows quick, convenient daily operation.
Recoil start provides a dependable backup option when batteries are flat or conditions are less forgiving.

This dual-start setup adds peace of mind in remote or intermittent-use situations.

Fuel efficiency and runtime

With a 5.4-litre fuel tank, the generator is designed for short-to-medium runtime tasks.

At 80% load, fuel consumption is approximately 1.65 litres per hour, delivering around 3.3 hours of operation.

This makes it well suited to mobile jobs, maintenance work, and applications where portability is prioritised over extended runtime.

Noise levels and portability

Producing 80 dBA at 7 metres, the generator sits within the expected range for open-frame diesel units of this size.

With a weight of 100.5 kg and compact dimensions, it can be transported on trailers, utes, and service vehicles without excessive handling equipment.

6.8 kVA Yanmar Powered Diesel Generator with Recoil & E-Start outlets

The outlet configuration supports standard single-phase equipment:

2 × 15 Amp outlets

This allows you to run common tools and accessories without adapters or additional distribution gear.

Gentech 6.8kVA FAQs

What can the Gentech 6.8kVA Yanmar diesel generator run on a job site?

Plenty. At 6.8kVA, this generator handles most light site power needs - angle grinders, drop saws, compressors, lighting, battery chargers, and smaller power tools running simultaneously. It's rated at 230V single-phase with two 15-amp outlets, so you can run two heavy tools at once. Just keep an eye on total load and stay under 80% capacity for the best runtime and engine life.

How long will the Gentech 6.8kVA Yanmar run on a tank of fuel?

At 80% load you'll get around 3.3 hours from the 5.4-litre tank, burning roughly 1.65 litres per hour. Running lighter loads will stretch that out. It's a compact tank for a generator this size, so for full-day site work you'll want to plan fuel stops or carry a jerry can.

How heavy is the Gentech ED6800YSRE and can I move it myself?

It weighs 100.5 kg, so you won't be picking this one up solo. You'll want a hand trolley or a mate to shift it around site. Dimensions are 810 x 545 x 545 mm. Once it's in position it's solid - that weight is part of what keeps it stable under load.

What warranty does the Gentech 6.8kVA Yanmar generator come with?

It comes with a 2-year warranty from Gentech Generators. The Yanmar L100N5 engine is a proven commercial diesel unit, so parts and service support are well established across Australia. We ship Australia-wide with insured, tracked delivery.

Is the Gentech ED6800YSRE easy to start?

Yes - it has both electric start and a recoil backup, so you're covered either way. Hit the e-start button and it fires up. If the battery ever plays up, the recoil pull-start gets you going without any drama. Every unit is pre-delivery tested before it leaves, so it arrives ready to work.

How loud is the Gentech 6.8kVA Yanmar diesel generator?

It runs at 80 dBA measured at 7 metres. That's standard for an open-frame diesel at this power level - noticeable but typical for a job site environment. If you're using it near a campsite or residential area, check local council noise rules. For remote work sites it won't be an issue.
