Stats from my generac. (Yes we lost power again last night.)
We've had the generator 76 days and have had 63 outage hours
Super glad we did this. The grid up here is shitty.

You may have said before but what state is that?
@Sr0bi I'm in southeast Michigan
@ucantstop_me
Do you live where you can have a monster LP tank and not worry how far it is from the neighbors house? Must be nice.

@Sr0bi I have a nat gas line running to it. Not a huge fan of gas but it's what we have at this time.
Lol no I don't have a yard (or an HOA) that I could put a LP tank.
But I have to keep power on to keep mom's oxygen machine going. And my husband and I are no spring chickens and the 6 hour fuel changes we were doing was exhausting.
@ucantstop_me
I asked because at certain temperatures keeping pressure on a tank can require heat tape.
But then it can happen for NG too. Where I worked the boilers ran on NG most of the time but when the temperature dropped to a certain point, we'd get a call from the gas co and would switch over to the fuel oil burners. I guess that would help the gas co maintain a supply for residential customers. I don't recall how much oil we could store.
