| Electric Generators Direct Recommendation |
| By Electric Generators Direct |
If you have a portable generator, you need gasoline -- especially during a disaster.
Electric Generators Direct recommends stockpiling at least 48 hours (or 24 gallons) worth of gasoline. This should buy you enough time for the roads and gas stations to reopen.
The DuraMax is an ideal addition to your strategic reserve. Yes, it holds 14-gallons of gasoline on a mobile cart.
The really cool feature, however, is its handle. You simple pump the gasoline by squeezing the gasoline-style handle.
You now have better control when refilling your portable generator. No more spills. No more overfills. No more clean up rags! |

| How to Quickly Set Up Your Gasoline Stockpile |
| By Jon Hoch, Founder (Bolingbrook, IL) |
A portable generator is just a machine that converts gasoline into electricity.
If you don’t have gasoline, you don’t have electricity.
You have a portable generator. So why don’t you have 24 gallons of gasoline readily available?
Most emergency generators already hold 5 gallons worth of fuel.
Storing gasoline in your fuel tank is no different than storing it in a gas can – with one major exception.
If the gasoline sits too long in the carburetor, it will gum up, and your generator won’t start when you need it most.
You can store gasoline in the generator ONLY if you shut off the fuel supply valve AND run the engine dry. Otherwise, we do not recommend it.
You should also have two gas cans on hand. This way, you can leave extra fuel behind while you’re searching for an open gas station.
Most people already have a 5-gallon gas can at home. If so, you just need to purchase one 14-gallon gas can.
Your stockpile is almost halfway complete, but hardly convenient. With a single gas can, you'll be making trips to the gas station every few hours to refuel.
During a disaster, you have more important things to do than stand in line for gasoline. That's why we recommend the Flo N' Go DuraMax gas can.
We love this product for three reasons:
1. It holds a whopping 14-gallons of gas in a polyethylene corrision-resistent container.
2. The DuraMax has sturdy six-inch wheels and an extra-deep handle to make it easy to manuever.
3. Its patented gas pump allows you to siphon gasoline directly into your generator by simply squeezing the handle.
Naturally, you don't want to pour gasoline on a fire. Nor do we recommend refueling a generator while it's hot.
With the DuraMax gas can, you have better control of dispensing gasoline, helping to eliminate spillage and overfills.
If you’re lucky and don’t use your generator, you can always use the gasoline for other outdoor power equipment. Or, you can easily pump it into your car with the DuraMax. |

| How Much Gasoline Should You Stockpile? |
| By Jon Hoch, Founder (Bolingbrook, IL) |
Hurricane Katrina taught us an important lesson about survival.
It’s impossible for the government to rescue entire cities immediately following a disaster.
Even if you can make it to your local gas station, don’t expect it to be operational either.
Gas pumps use electric motors to dispense the gasoline. Without electricity, it’s stuck in underground storage tanks.
That’s why you always see long lines at gas stations before a hurricane hits.
Unfortunately, most blackouts just happen, so advance preparation is vital. You need to be self sufficient for the first two days following a blackout. Basically, you need to stockpile 48 HOURS worth of gasoline.
The average consumption rate for a generator is around 0.67 gallons/hour. In other words, a 48-hour supply would be 32 gallons.
Do you really need that much? This is up to you. If you don’t run your generator while you’re sleeping, you can significantly reduce your run time and save gasoline.
We recommend stockpiling at least 24 GALLONS of fuel. This should buy enough time for the roads to clear and the gas stations to reopen. |

The best way to ensure your generator lasts is to start it properly the first time.
Most of us are too proud to read owners manuals.
If you watch this video instead, you'll take better care of your generator, and it will last you much longer.
