interesting information at national grid: "A generator that is capable of supplying the electrical needs of a household can consume up to 25 gallons of fuel in a 24-hour period. Consider how much fuel needs to be on hand and how it will be stored. Approved containers are a must. It is also important to remember that gasoline is extremely flammable and has a relatively short shelf life. Avoid fire or explosion by refueling the generator in a well-ventilated area, and avoid spilling fuel on hot engine parts." electric company storm safety page is at:
