I have a Winco multi-fuel generator that operates on gasoline, propane, or
natural gas. It uses 9/10 gallon gasoline per hour or 1.4 gallons propane
per hour. I never tried it on natural gas, but Winco said it will use about
100 cubic ft. per hour, but will only deliver about 80% output. It has a
really unique carburetor, but at least it gives the option of still using
gasoline.

Hi,

What do you folk do for gasoline storage for your generators?

I am in far northern NY with harsh winters and occasional
multi-day power outages with frequent outages of several hours in
the winter. Worst one so far was during the Ice Storm of '98 - 5
days without power.




Convert the generator to run on natural gas or propane;you can use the gas
lines that run your home heating,or the kitchen stove/oven.
Even when electric power is lost,you still get gas.
A fair sized propane tank will run a generator a long time,probably longer
than it should run continuously.
And it's safer because you do not have to refuel a hot generator.
