[Elecraft] OT GENERAC generators

[Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT]

Propane, in a sealed tank under pressure, tends to have good shelf-life.

Gasoline, stored in a vented tank, tends to turn to varnish.

A tank of diesel will support bacteria growth, which clogs the filter 
(when you need it most).

If we're talking about an emergency generator that is used infrequently, 
then propane is a really good choice.
