very sorry to hear about your loss juice. but i must say, after surviving the first wave of the snow storm here in pa i showed my wife your thread and the first thing out of her mouth was, " here is the credit card, go get a generator" haha. so i went a bit overboard and got a 5500 watt one. so we can have other things run in the house as well as the tanks.
but best of luck to you my friend!
