[Elecraft] OT GENERAC generators

[Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT]

Clearly YMMV, and we're all trying to solve different problems.

My gasoline generators were a constant maintenance hassle because the AC 
power was so reliable that they were very rarely used, and I was 
constantly cleaning varnish out of the fuel system.  My loads were small 
enough that a portable (100 pound) propane tank was more than adequate.

If you have an outage every couple of months, then you aren't going to 
have trouble with stale gas.

Also, if you plan on siphoning fresh fuel from your car, make sure you 
can get past the anti-siphon baffle.

My favorite solution for intermittent backup is at http://priups.com.  
Enough to make me think about buying a Prius.
