One good thing about 'natural' or 'propane' is that it doesn't spoil.
My Honda is readily to hook up to a 500 gal. propane tank in
necessary.
Power outages in my area are not often and only momentarily for a
couple hrs at the usual. But you never know. Especially in the winter
if a good ice storm comes along. Some rural people have been out of
electricity for two weeks in freezing temps.
changing over a small gas engine to propane is easy and well worth
it.
Thanks for the post, Wayne.
