If you don't mind fiddling with stuff the mep-8xx are a lot generator for the money and diesel make fuel storage easy a sealed 55 gal drum can sit for 5 plus years, but you need to run them 3/4 times a year, and drain the on board tank yearly. And put battery maintainer on it. I also used space heater as small load during service runs. I had bad experience trying to keep finding gas for the 8kva lawn mower generator, standing in line waiting for fuel people getting very angry about me filling two 55 gallon drums. This time I'll have fuel on hand and no loud generator to listen too. Last time neighbors lived off a grill and hotdogs and filled the water jugs and took showers with my garden hose. We went 26 days no power, 18 days no cell phones. It was hot as ****. I ran my Gen 12 to 14 hours a day. Next time other switching to different drum by just moving my bung hole pickup tube it will stay running. Last time I felt like mad max, out in f350 4x4 crew cab chain saws, tow straps and oil drums, guns and cash searching for the juice. We had clear the roads and forge flooded roads. Came close to siphoning from closed stations at night. Too old for that now
