Oh, no....during Ike, we didn’t get our DIESEL generator until one week into being without power. We were luckily able to get enough diesel to get us through the next two weeks.
We then QUICKLY ordered a natural gas generator, that is hooked up to the natural gas line in our area. We haven’t regretted this purchase once. It automatically switches over, when one of the very frequent power outages happen, in our area.
What type generator do you have?
So, we would likely just use it sparingly during a prolonged outage until we know there's more propane available.
