re: Finally got power back after 5 days in Shreveport (This ain't happening again)

Never lost power at my house in Shreveport, parents lost power at theirs for about 2 days and ran my generator there for their fridge and freezer. They lose power everytime a mosquito farts near their subdivision though, been telling them to get a whole house stand-by generator.

With gasoline generators it matters the oil and gas you use as well as how you store it. My little 4kW CPE hasn't been used in years, only had 6.4 hours on it until this last storm but fired up and ran like a top for 14+ hours of use over those 2 days. I filled it up with Shell 89 oct treated with Stabil360, will drain it and run a little TrueFuel 4-cycle to flush out the carb before storing it again. Mobil 1 10W30 oil that got changed out at 15.5 hours, wrote that info on the gas tank with a sharpie.
