Ok guys, I know you all know about this topic..
Which do you prefer, gas or propane for your generator?
I have a Honda (there's a surprise) EU2000i with about 40 hours on it. So far so good. Did I mention the power went out for about 4 and a half hours on Christmas Day? While I'm laying there like a worthless bag of jelly. Can you believe it. We had I nice little wind and rain storm with up to 60 to 70 mph winds.. It wasn't long before the power failed.
I sent my assistant for ethanol free gas and then just made sure he did the generator hookup and starting procedure properly. I made it idiot proof and to code but bro Tom has a way of say, getting confused if it's AC currant, HA! It's true, he can reason out an antenna for any frequency and amp match it, but AC at 60 cycles he won't touch it; HA!! He says he just doesn't understand working with AC the way I do. I say that's ok I'll do it if that's the case. I always say; if your not comfortable doing this kind of work; don't do it!.... Look at me, I like doing this kind of work but sometimes I get complacent. That's what happened to me just recently with the water heater and it was another eye opener for sure! JUST BE SAFE!! >>>>>>>>>>
This time (its rare for sure) the cable amps remained energized. Just the main power was out. Must be a different supply some how.... So after we fired up ole Genny, we had the TV, internet and phone service back online. Along with the refrigerators and freezers and the fans! Alright! This ain't bad... The lights are all LEDs so their all a cinch… The security system is also in the loop with a well maintained battery backup...
Have a look at this link; what do you guys think? Is this a bad Idea for the generator? I again relish your thoughts on this topic...….. Amazon product
Thanks friends……………..
