The key is "if handled properly".  I don't want to fool with it.  I'd rather 
take my generator, that I have mounted on a trailer with a 150 gallon diesel 
tank, to a local farmer & offer to cool down his freezer and fridge in 
exchange for some diesel fuel.  Diesel is easer for the average Joe to mess 
with.
