Lots of propane operated fork lifts and zambonies run indoors all the tome too. Not saying to run the generator inside, mind you - but well ventilated 10 feet from the house is NOT a risk!!!

A more direct comparison, there are God knows how many automatic startup nat gas generators installed right next to homes all over the country. Complete with permits, new gas lines run from the meter, etc. They don't have anything special with regard to exhaust, it just comes out the side of the cabinet. And how many people running gasoline generators right outside the house during power outages? Never heard one of them where there was a problem with CO, unless they ran it in the garage, or maybe did something else like left it right outside an open garage door, with the wind blowing it back inside. If you have a nat gas generator outside a normal house, windows closed, I can't imaging how you'd have a CO hazard.

Looks like it;s $580 for 50 ft of 1"

That plus other reasons would have me looking at some kind of small utility storage box/shed large enough to hold the generator near the house/gas lines, etc.

Potable gas is what you get in Oh Hah. I think NG is a good option, I've never had the NG interrupted. And I'm in the cold part of the country, in NYS.
Not sure about above ground piping.

You want to do something more dangerous to avoid something with almost no danger. They install practically all those emergency generators right next to the house.

That's an impotant question. I'll have to put on my suit and tie so I can look impotant.

Around here the meters are installed next to the driveway. Most times without any kind of bollards. People like to crash into them on occasion.
One poster stated they had plastic pipe run above ground. IDK about that. I doubt it is gas.

This is about right for Tony, he's another poster of dubious knowledge.
Well, if you're in the midst of a power outage who knows what one will drink? Are the saloons open?
