Maybe I should put this in the price of gas column. Before the storm we ran a vehicle to empty and filled it with ethanol free at Woodland Center in Pahoa. It was $6.11 per gallon! Hopefully we never need to siphon it out for he generator but if we do, we're prepared with two weeks of generator gas - much more if we are sparsam (for you Chunkster). Couple a little generator with a solar battery like an Ecoflow, and you can run fridges, freezers, internet, espresso machine, digital weight dosing grinder (for you Random), charge things for neighbors, what have you, without a hiccup.
Check on your neighbors! Let the aloha flow. It all comes back to you.
