Generators. Propane or Gas?
« on: October 21, 2014, 01:57:44 PM »
I'm thinking of getting a generator and would like to know everyone's though on whether I should do propane or gas. I've already made a solar generator and I just want to have another option just in case.

Thank you.

Gas

If shit hits the fan Propane in tanks is going to be hard to find vs siphoning from cars!

although I like propane better

If I were shopping around, I would look for a dual fuel genny.

Nice find... a little pricey for me at this time though.

someday when you have time, could you explain how you made a solar generator?
in general terms if you want to keep OPSEC

Same add has a propane only for $500. When I get one it will be the yamaha tri fuel just as quiet as a Honda runs off propane, natural gas or gasoline. 
Every ones a good person. You just might be catching them in a bad time of their life.

More the merrier. Focus on one as your primary, but don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Get a yammie genset from Waipahu lawn garden and then wait till the warranty runs out then add the propane adapter. One of the braddah a that works there has one

Costco has a dual gas propane one for sale for $750
wanting to get one, haven't pulled trigger as they do not seem to be flying off the shelves
