Sorry to hear that your power is out. Could you share some real world fuel consumption data if it stays out for a while?
Power is back on. I started with about 3 1/2 gallons est. Ran from 7 am till 1:30pm. 6 1/2 hrs. Still have about a 1/2 tank left. I think it would run at least 15hrs on 4 gallons.
Ran the furnace and well pump, and a refridgerator, and this computer. The generator did bog down a moment and the lights flicker when the well pump started up. We also realized that in addition to the fridge we left the small wine cooler on. We unplugged it about 4 hours into the outage.
There is also a refrigerator in the unheated garage, but i doubt i ran much at all.
Overall i'm pleased.
