    Another thing about generators is the gas going bad. Have to put stabilizer in it and even then rotate it out at least once a year. They do have generators that run on LP gas and it does not go bad like gasoline. It is in small tanks and compressed so it takes up less space. Never got around to buying an LP generator. Not so handy to move around when you need power back in the field or some remote location.
    There are conversion kits for gas generators to make them tri-fuel, gas, propane, or natural gas. I converted mine after hurricane Charley. I was in Tampa but lent the generator to a friend in Punta Gorda where it hit. They were without electricity for a month. He said the generator was great but he spent most of his day searching for gas stations with fuel and then waiting in line. A 250 gal propane tank isn't too expensive and will last a bit and can be connected to a gas grill as well.

    Yup! propane is also a more stable fuel to store...
