Hi,
I have a FG falcon 6cyl petrol. is it detrimental to the engine in any way to leave it idling for an hour or so, while you charge an electronic device? basically using it like a generator? i do the odd bit of camping and have a power source that should be able to keep phones and stuff charged up for 3-4 days, but in the event it needs charging, i figured i could just use my car as a generator, as fuel is cheaper than forking out for some solar setup (in the short term anyway). its not like this would be a regular thing. probably once every 3-6 months, not every day or week or anything like that. thanks for any info in this regard. |
