I took care of a generator powered by a Chrysler 6 for several years at a hatchery.A loss of power while the incubators were full would lose a lot of money.As for cruise controls they have a history of causing a engine to run away.My Ford F150 ran away at full throttle.Cruise control was off.Shut the switch off and coasted to a stop.Got the cover off, the throttle was stuck wide open.I didnt floor it so it had to be the cruise control.I was close to TV and radio towers.A check on the internet showed that all makes of vehicles are having troubles with runaways.2 Ford service managers I called said they have had no problems with Ford runaways,I found there are 6 lawsuits pending against Ford because of runaways.Do a search on Ford F150 runaways.I disconnected the cruise control cable from the throttle so a runaway wont happen again with my truck.I hope to ask an automotive engineer if high powered radio transmissions could swamp a cruise control circuit and make the servo motor pull the throttle wide open.An old tractor and a PTO generator make more sense for emergency power.My Ford tractor would use a gallon of gasoline for every hour it powered a generator.
