Get a diesel generator, they run fine on fuel oil.


Maybe.

Unless the manufacturer says you can, you have to ASSume that you might have
problems.

Oil heat is pretty good (so I have been told) but LPG is GREAT for "spot"
heating including cooking, fireplace inserts (vented or ventless), and
running the water heater.

Having both LPG & oil gives you the advantage of maximizing the use of the
relatively less expensive product for home heat. Fireplace inserts are fun
and can put out a lot of heat in one room. It can make sense to set the
"oil" thermostat on the low side and keep the family room up to 10F warmer
with LPG.

Most oil appliances require electric power. Most LPG aplainces don't.
