< If I ordered one today, I don't know if I could get one this year... >[fire marshall] told me that "tons" of people here are getting generators. And that most are gas-fueled, purchased by people who "don't know what they're doing" and who plan to fill their (often attached) garages with gasoline. So he's seeing a suburb littered with potential bombs and fire hazards -- and I don't blame him for feeling that way; he's right. > My generator guy told me the EXACT same thing. FYI - for those that haven't investigated generators yet. Diesel is most expensive, then propane. Gasoline is the least expensive and the least stable of all of the fuels. I think price is often the factor in making the decision. Plus, some probably think if they store gasoline - they can use it for both auto and gen set. If not experienced with generators and fuel storage, anyone trying to set up these systems on their own to save a few bucks is courting disaster.jademountain.com . 800-442-1972 Fax 303-449-8266 (needed only if you have a well - provides a fallback if well pump is electric and outage occurs.)
