    Well atleast the beer will help ease your mind a bit. lol that honda generator is perfect for running your equipment. It has very little harmonic distortion and runs as clean as it gets. Not to mention how quiet it is.

    Don't add too much hydrogen peroxide, more than 1 ml per 10 gallons of volume is too much :) I am glad you got your hands on a generator!

    Thanks a ton for all the help and info! Fingers crossed for late tomorrow, although the power companies website says some areas 5-7 days! Let's hope! That ice and beer ain't gonna last 5-7 days;)
    Norg; this generator is the cats meow, super quiet and is running a fridge, 2 hydor 1300s a air pump and a few lights without a hiccup! Not bad;) gonna be a hot day tomorrow with no ac for the day!

    Thanks Cosmo. I looked up the specs and that thing can run for 9 hours on 1.1 gallons of gas at 50% load. You are barely making a dent in wattage. You should be good to go fo at least that.

    Nice man! Thx for the info! How much wattage can it handle? Im trying to look stuff up but some cell towers must've been damaged and web pages are struggling to load here! If that's the case I can run her all night and drive and get gas tomorrow without worry!
    May need to syphon a bit out of a car, not looking forward to it! It is pretty neat how it self adjusts itself to the power load!
