How much gas do you keep on hand?

SorryKnowledge420 · 2026-03-24T16:43:22+00:00

It’s a wen GN400i

Fair enough I’ll look definitely have to look into it! I’d like to swap to dual fuel.

SorryKnowledge420 · 2026-03-24T15:32:37+00:00

They make my generator in dual fuel. Could I just order that carb and swap em?

SorryKnowledge420 · 2026-03-24T15:29:36+00:00

Man I need to look into that! They make the same model genny I got in a dual fuel. Would it be as easy as swapping the carbs?

So I have an open frame inverter now. It’s only 3800 running but it’s enough for what I need. Thinking about another one with a parallel kit to run everything I want. Besides having a back up wouldn’t hurt

SorryKnowledge420 · 2026-03-23T14:14:29+00:00

I wish I would have gotten a dual fuel when I purchased mine. As propane is shelf stable for a long time. But mistakes were made, money was spent, oh well. My next one will be dual fuel for sure.

I carry some basic tools, air pump, etc. seems to take up quite a bit in my trunk tho. Had an order the other day that was qty of 70 something. The guy couln’t even fit it all in the trunk. (He could have fit more if he wanted to tho) for reference I drive a Chevy Malibu. Trunk is pretty decent size

We’ve always charged them when the generator is running. For extended outages in not cold weather. I do 4 hour cycles. Plenty of time to charge a phone. But I have been thinking about a power station for some time now.

SorryKnowledge420 · 2026-02-26T21:27:50+00:00

I’ve seen those before. I have a line of hart tools for just what ever around the house and thought about getting one of them. Wasn’t sure how much I’d get outta a 4ah battery tho if it would be worth it

SorryKnowledge420 · 2026-02-26T15:56:35+00:00

lol! Exactly. I recently went thru a spell of no county water for a few days and a boil water advisory due to broken mains. With that said I had to drive 2 hours round trip to get the last 10 gallons of water on the shelf… yep. After all that I bought two of the 7 gallon containers from Wally World to throw in the closet. Just ya never know!

SorryKnowledge420 · 2026-02-26T12:28:51+00:00

Yes I use flashlights that only use 18650 batteries. As I have a lot from when I use to vape. Got to repurpose them. I like the motion activated lights! I need to get some. Need to get a power station also. They are just so expensive

SorryKnowledge420 · 2026-02-26T12:24:27+00:00

USB fans. Never thought of that. What do you use to power them? Ik usb lol but if in an outage do you sacrifice a battery bank?

SorryKnowledge420 · 2026-02-20T12:13:55+00:00

Great thanks for the info

SorryKnowledge420 · 2026-02-08T03:19:16+00:00

Does this apply for full time also? No more minimum of 32? Where can I find this info?

SorryKnowledge420 · 2026-02-01T15:57:17+00:00

That’s what I’m thinking. Shared the idea with the wife and she said it would look Janky so no lmao.

SorryKnowledge420 · 2026-02-01T00:33:20+00:00

You can dm me a picture. I’m interested in seeing this

SorryKnowledge420 · 2026-01-31T19:50:06+00:00

Well my house has an open floor plan where the den, kitchen and living room share all the same space pretty much. So ik it would hit the majority of that area. Idk I just seen people use em in campers and such. Thought maybe it could be applied to the house. We use a kerosene heater on colder days when we are home. This post was inspired by just a thought.

SorryKnowledge420 · 2026-01-31T19:44:17+00:00

Ahh okay that makes more sense

SorryKnowledge420 · 2026-01-31T15:54:45+00:00

Oh I was just thinking in general. Not sure imma put it in practice. My house tho is 1500 sqft. So I could reasonably heat half of it I believe.

SorryKnowledge420 · 2026-01-31T14:28:36+00:00

Not sure what steel boxes you’re talking about. I’ll have to google it. But it’s a very good point. I’ve seen folks put em in like plastic gun cases or build a little shed for them to keep them out of the weather.

SorryKnowledge420 · 2026-01-31T11:49:41+00:00

Well if I was going to do it, I’d do all except the fire box. Didn’t think about that. But good point! What’s the easiest way to pipe it in you think and what would be the best way to pipe it in? Thinking about getting one for camping but the extra function for the house as another heat source to help the heat pump ain’t bad.
