CO poisoning in the house with the genset running on natural gas even

20 feet from the house is a REAL long shot!!!



That's what we're going for: the longest possible shot.... -)

Cars, trucks and busses are passing closer than that to MANY homes,

every day, day in and day out.





I have a natural gas Kohler generator about 5' from the house and its never set off the CO detectors.

Lots of propane operated fork lifts and zambonies run indoors all the

tome too. Not saying to run the generator inside, mind you - but well

ventilated 10 feet from the house is NOT a risk!!!

A more direct comparison, there are God knows how many
automatic startup nat gas generators installed right next
to homes all over the country. Complete with permits, new
gas lines run from the meter, etc. They don't have anything
special with regard to exhaust, it just comes out the side of the
cabinet. And how many people running gasoline generators
right outside the house during power outages? Never heard
one of them where there was a problem with CO, unless they
ran it in the garage, or maybe did something else like
left it right outside an open garage door, with the wind blowing
it back inside. If you have a nat gas generator outside
a normal house, windows closed, I can't imaging how you'd
have a CO hazard.
