   My Brother, "The Engineer" is rebuilding his home in a mid-sized city in   
   Utah. He installed a 1K USG Propane Tank, underground in his yard, and   
   has NG piped into the house. He also has a 55 USG Drum of 80/87 Aviation   
   Fuel, sitting on steel stilts, and bolted to the floor and Garage Wall.   
   All this is to support his Generac 20Kw TriFuel Genset that lives in the   
   SECURE Generator Room, under part of the Double Garage ground level   
   Floor. Primary Fuel will be the NG Feed from the local NG Pipeline.   
   Should that fail then he can switch, the Genset, the Kitchen Stove, the   
   house H&AC, Hot Water Heater, and the Cloths Dryer, over to the Propane   
   Tank. The 80/87 AvGas is for the vehicles, and if in dire straights, can   
   feed the Genset.  The Genset can run the WHOLE House, or can be used to   
   charge an Outback 3648 Inverter with 2500 AmpHours of Battery that also   
   can run the whole House. The Inverter, Charge Controllers, & Batteries,   
   live in a Separate Electrical Room next to the Generator Room, under   
   another section of the Garage Floor. He has twin Outback MX-80 Charge   
   Controllers, that ties his 6Kw of Roof Mounted Solar Panels, to the   
   Battery Bank. Barring a Nuclear Air Strike in his valley, he is setup   
   for just about any eventuality. Just Say'en..... YMMV....
