| 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. |

| Why Real-Time Inventory Matters |
| By Jon Hoch, Founder (Bolingbrook, IL) |
During a disaster, portable generators sell faster than playoff tickets.
Unlike other web sites, we actually stock our best-selling portable generators. You'll know if your generator is in-stock before you even order.
Plus, we display our inventory in real time. If it's in-stock, it'll say so. If it's backordered, you'll know before ordering.
Most of our competitors literally leave you in the dark. Unless it says "in-stock" on their site, you should assume that it's not. |

| How to Survive a Blizzard Blackout |
| By Jon Hoch, Founder (Bolingbrook, IL) |
Ice storms and blizzards can snap power lines just as easily as any hurricane, spawning prolonged power outages during the darkest days of the year.
You don’t have to look too hard to find someone who’s weathered a winter power outage.
Just ask me.
Several years ago, my own mother and father endured a 4-day power outage.
My dad chronicled the ordeal, illustrating what can go wrong when your home turns into a walk-in freezer.
For example, when his power went out, so did his electric-powered blower. So even though he had a natural gas furnace, it was rendered useless during the height of the blizzard.
My dad was rightfully concerned about the water pipes freezing. Water expands when frozen, and the pipes can rupture and flood the entire home.
During a blizzard blackout, you can’t just jump into your car and rent a backup generator.
If you live snow country – especially areas hit by wicked ice storms – you need to have a backup generator on site before the first snow flake falls.
If you purchase a portable generator, make sure you purchase a transfer switch too. Why? Most furnaces don’t have electrical outlets. You can’t plug your generator into your furnace… or ceiling fan… or light fixtures.
You simply start your generator outside, run a heavy-duty cord to your transfer switch, and voila… your furnace and lights are restored.
Finally, if you're away from home often (like a vacation home in the mountains), buy a simple monitoring device that will call you if the power goes out or the inside temperature drops significantly.
An early warning can literally save you thousands of dollars in damage later. |
