I don’t know where to put this, so here it is.
I was 3 days with no power, not complaining, Fredrick put me w/o power for 2 weeks.
The link above is the duel fuel generator I have. I bought it on sale about 8 months ago for $200. I just left it in the box, just opened for visual inspection. You always have to add oil to these, FYI. I have another 5kw , but it’s over 10 yrs old, did not use it this time. Probable needs fuel lines, etc.
I had plenty of fuel, both LP and gas, I am a prepper by nature. I had plenty of everything, but the reason for this post is what I ran on the generator.
Long story short, I ran a side by side Residential refrigerator/freezer, small size chest freezer, (about 4 foot wide) and a 5000 btu room a/c like the one linked above. I did not think it would handle all three together, but it did. 4.5 gallons of gas lasted 8 hrs, One LP tank, like on a gas grill lasted almost two days. (Three separate extension cords) Of course phone charger too. I could have put a TV on it, but I rarely watch TV, just used battery powered radio.
Of course this has to be outside your house, it’s hard to believe, but the news reported some people ran them inside and died. I don’t really believe it, how can an adult be that stupid.
Anyway, to emergency generator nubees, just some information you may have wondered about. I will now run gas out of carburetor, drain gas and oil, and put back in storage.
PS, I had an AR-15 and a .40 Glock loaded just in case, wore the Glock holstered, wife was always popooing my guns, she is now asking for shooting lessons ;-)
