[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3868115, member: 3099"] Another advantage to propane or NG as a fuel is that you can double the runtime before an oil change. If you are in an extended outage you need to have oil and filter on hand in addition to fuel. I had to change my mom's during the polar vortex deep freeze because it hit 200 hours of runtime and I also had to change my portables' at my house even though I wasn't running them 24/7. It's also pretty normal for generators to burn a little oil in operation because they are working pretty hard, so take that into consideration too. If I had NG service at my house I'd lean hard at tapping into the line. I know I was getting really tired of making a gas run everyday even though the station was right by my house on the corner (they had power). [/QUOTE]
