Now I cant say if this is right or not but I asked a mechanic about running the engine while static to charge via B2B and was advised against it even though I don’t have a DPF in my van.
I was advised the engine should be kept above 1200rpm if I did do it. That meant sitting in drivers seat watching rev counter. I had to do this when i got snowed in for 8 days winter 2018/19. I ran for one hour morning one hour evening. When snow cleared enough to move I drove out with huge clouds of blue smoke. Took about ten miles to clear up. Regardless of engine I can’t see that being too good for the cat that is fitted.
Shortly after that experience I bought my genny
