[Elecraft] OT GENERAC generators

[N2TK, Tony]

My 16KW Generac uses natural gas 170-245 Cu ft/hr, depending on load. 
If using LP the usage is 1.55/57 to 2.51/92  gallons per hour/cubic feet per
hour, depending on load.

N2TK, Tony

How much fuel do all you guys with whole house generators keep on hand?

How much fuel does one need to, say, go for 10 days?  Does everyone have
that on hand?

What next, if you run out of fuel...


[--Note - not an argument, a serious question.  I know lots of guys with
generators, but I bet they have only one or two days of fuel on hand. 
What does it really take?  Does one need a submarine-size tank, like we see
in rural areas, to go the distance? ]
