      RW> Flatbed as in truck? Is the generator hooked up yet?              Flatbed as in the rolling carts. I used the generator during Hurricane Sandy       - as we did lose power here for 2 days. My biggest trouble was finding gas -       as most stations had no power in my area. Had to drive a good bit to find a       working pump. It went through about 5-6 gallons in 14 hours. Then again, I       was powering my entire house with it. :)              I made (4) custom power cords going to separate outlets - each that went to       different breakers on the panel. I was able to get around 60 AMPS to backfeed       the house.               I had several large flatscreen TVs on, hair dryer, furnace (gas), microware       and toaster oven all on at the same time. Also had lights and 10 PCs going.              RW> Well, imagine laying in the street under your leaking gas tank and       RW> wondering what to do now! I had chewing gum in the car and so chewed a       RW> few       RW> sticks and then put that wad of gum in the hole. When it hit that cold       RW> gas, it hardened just like epoxy would only it happened instantly.              That must be some sticky spit. :)              - Mark              --- WWIVToss v.1.50         * Origin: http://www.weather-station.org * Bel Air, MD -USA (1:261/1304.0)    |
