Consider your vehicle. One of the best fuel storage units you can get. My truck holds 35 gallons and I keep it full. That will run the generator for quite a while running it intermittently on a as needed basis. I look at the generator as a temporary thing...
If I buy a small genny for the house, I'd like to look into propane conversion. I keep five spare BBQ size propane tanks here at the house, easier to pick up and haul. I bought one new at Wally World, but the wife kept an eye out and picked up the rest in garage sales at $5 apiece, and one of those was full of propane with seal still attached. Have been thinking of buying some metal Jerry cans, for extra range and/or spare Genny fuel, but decided to rethink the issue until I can check on the Aux fuel tank that look like a tool box mounted on the back of the truck.

..... Watch the valves though. Most places will no longer fill the tanks with the old valves......
Yeah, your right on that item and thanks for the reminder. After purchase, with the exception the one that was full, I immediately take them to a bottle exchange, generally Lowe's or to the base exchange, and get a new clean bottle. Got the wife looking for more. I'd like to pick up at least four more.
