Can you imagine the demand for propane delivery if we had another Katrina? A whole lot more people have generators than they did then.
Do you think the propane folks can keep up?
I have a diesel transfer tank that is about 80 gallons. I can keep the diesel rotated so it doesn't go bad. They just so much more efficient than those air cooled gas ones. Lot more up front though.
I have a small one now that ran my well and my frig and freezer and TV during Katrina. I actually have two. One an import diesel at 6000 watt and one a gas at 5000 watts. I keep the diesel on at the office. It burns less than half what the gasoline one does.
I have almost talked myself out of it BUT still interested.
Thanks for the feedback.

I would guess mostly small to medium size gas burners. Not propane, nor natural gas, or diesel...but I don't know.

Have no clue. Go talk to local propane dealers about what your options are.
Good luck

Houses in Baton Rouge run on natural gas. Propane demand in a city like that is relatively low.
Diesel generators will also cost you about double if nothing has changed in the last couple of years.
