[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 4182567, member: 14646"] As some others have said. For home use during storm outages, having to buy and refill 20# tanks would bring the suck. Especially for more than a couple days. the 4K watt unit will more than likely only be able to produce a bit more than 3K continous watts, fair bit less than using gasoline. Can't imagine if you're in a single family home you can't find room for at least a 100# vertical tank as [USER=7900]@TerryMiller[/USER] mentioned. With a 4K watt generator hooked to a home I bet you be continuously running 3/4 load or more full time whick will suck the fuel. If it were me I'd be looking for the biggest tank you can find/afford/place, that being a 250 gallon tank. Emergency or not, the more fuel you have onsite the easier and happier you'll be when the storm hits the fan. I have a 24KW Generac and the reasons above are why I went with a 1000 gallon tank. Tank is for generator only. If generator is used wisely I should get close to 3 weeks of run time on 1000 gallons (800 gallons) [/QUOTE]
