Where do you store your generator gas?
Interested in knowing where you store your generator gas and what kind of container do you use?
Forum Discussion
- I have a one gallon container and store it down the right side, between the truck and camper.
- firemedic08, sorry just saw your post. I plumbed it into the house system. I use a hose and gas quick connect from US Carbureation. My system has 2 tanks with the auto changeover. I check once in a while depending on the weather and fill the empty.

Is that Plumbed in to your House Propane? or Do you have a seperate cylinder for that?- another reason why I love my side storage with the flatbed. I get to store it in the sides. it is not a sealed storage so any fumes vent out.
I have thought about getting one of those siphon tools. since my truck is gas I could just use some gas out of the truck. - I use No-Spill fuel cans exclusively for gasoline & diesel fuel... They work just as well as the videos on their website show.
I have a 1.25gal red/gasoline No-Spill can that I stow in the (ventilated) compartment on the side of my TC where the batteries used to be.
When I need to carry extra fuel for the truck & motorcycle, I use in 2.5 & 5 gal' No-Spills that go on the rear hitch-mounted cargo tray.
Cheers

I am trying out something new. I went to REI and bought two 30 oz MSR backpacking white gas fuel metal bottles. They are stored in the generator compartment/bin that came with the camper. I don't use the generator often so I figure that if we start with a full tank in the generator, the two bottles will provide plenty of backup.

Lp vs gasoline debate is always good around the campfire...;) Since I only have one 20 lb bottle of propane, it's not going toward a generator. Of course the cleanest option is solar.
Just curious, do they make kits to convert a Honda EU2000i to propane?
Bought our propane/natural gas/gasoline Yamaha new from US Carburetion, I know they make kits for a lot of different models. Our Yamaha has about 110 hrs on it and has never had gasoline in the tank.69 Avion wrote:

- I am having 2 - 2 gallon RotoPax installed on the back outside wall of my new Hallmark Cuchara for gasoline storage. www.rotopax.com
