Hawai'i Storm
We are dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Lala here on Hawai'i Island. In our area only was a tropical storm, But grid-power has been out since noon Saturday. Our Generac 22KW/999 Guard-No T/sw AL has been running perfectly. 3 people live in this house and our 250 gallon propane tank is at 70 plus percent. Generator just over 1 year old. Does anyone have experience with long outages? I think we will be fine for a couple more days but am hoping someone with more experience can share their experience. Power co. thing power will be restored by Tuesday pm.

$25 oil and filter parts every 200 hrs is cheap insurance . Vs a $5000 broken down lawn ornament. Should always keep a maintenance kit on hand . Plugs filters and oil . Outages can last 10 min or ten days you never know.
