 RW> Flatbed as in truck? Is the generator hooked up yet? Flatbed as in the rolling carts. I used the generator during Hurricane Sandy - as we did lose power here for 2 days. My biggest trouble was finding gas - as most stations had no power in my area. Had to drive a good bit to find a working pump. It went through about 5-6 gallons in 14 hours. Then again, I was powering my entire house with it. :) I made (4) custom power cords going to separate outlets - each that went to different breakers on the panel. I was able to get around 60 AMPS to backfeed the house. I had several large flatscreen TVs on, hair dryer, furnace (gas), microware and toaster oven all on at the same time. Also had lights and 10 PCs going. RW> Well, imagine laying in the street under your leaking gas tank and RW> wondering what to do now! I had chewing gum in the car and so chewed a RW> few RW> sticks and then put that wad of gum in the hole. When it hit that cold RW> gas, it hardened just like epoxy would only it happened instantly. That must be some sticky spit. :) - Mark --- WWIVToss v.1.50 * Origin: http://www.weather-station.org * Bel Air, MD -USA (1:261/1304.0) |
