Generator Thread ....When the power goes out...

This is the one I have
 
I was encouraged to paint the black pipe.
All I had was hunter green rustoleum.
The fat pipe acts as a reservoir to help upon start up.

Also my electrician has one and said every one he’s seen the foil backed insulation under the lid eventually sags or falls down on top of the motor from the heat and he’s glued his with 3m super trim adhesive.
I may just attach some form fitted hardware cloth up against the foil and attach with screws/washers.

This is my setup. 16kw Generac. I rent the tank at $38.00 yearly. I have another tank on the other side of the house. It is for heat only. I filled the tank for heat today at $2.99 Gal.

I fired up my Genny yesterday evening for about 10 mins, Works great. Been charging solar. I think we are ready IF we have an ice storm.
Yeah man.
I’m almost hoping we get to use it in a real situation so we can feel like we got our moneys worth.
But then I’m like …..that propane ain’t cheap…lol.

I still kept my portable generator quick plug in that Incan use as a back up to this generator if l ever ran out of propane during a storm or ???
I can use small propane bottles or gasoline.

I would like to have a small propane bottle quick connect to the whole house generator though as a back up plan of the big tank ran out.

Eventually everything is either going to run out or our crooked government will make it illegal due to some retarded environmental
Insanity edicts.

But as always….as a true liberty loving American I will fail to comply.
