[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 382765, member: 412"] For someone living inside city limits, it's likely not legal to have a bulk tank of diesel or gasoline on your property, so, diesel isn't really an option, nor is gas because you can't store enough of either to make it very long in a blackout. You see and hear those big generators running during really hot weather sometimes. They'll run the generator to "exercise" it as well as to keep the fuel stable/fresh. At one time the power companies had to "buy" any excess electricity those huge generators put off. A buddy of mine used to sell the generators and service contracts for same, but that's 12-15yrs ago so I don't hear about that stuff anymore and might not be current on the what's what. I was driving on S University past Sanford South U campus 4-5 weeks ago and saw a big plume of diesel exhaust. Sanford must've been exercising their generator as there was no blackout at the time.
