Propane vs. Gasoline

Portability: Gasoline generators are typically more portable than LP generators. Gasoline generators have on-board tanks, but a propane unit must be powered by piping propane in from an exterior tank. Propane units may be a bit bigger than comparable gasoline generators.

Environment: Propane burns cleaner than natural gas. Carbon monoxide emissions range between 20% to 40% lower. Although burning propane puts 10% more methane into the atmosphere, the result is still a net decrease in effective greenhouse gases.

Storage: Propane will not degrade, so you can keep several propane tanks on hand and store them for an unlimited amount of time. Gasoline has a more limited shelf life and will deteriorate over time. Gasoline tends to go bad if it is not used in a timely manner. A propane generator will start more easily in extremely cold weather because the fuel will not gum up.

Cost: Fuel prices fluctuate for both propane and gasoline. A propane generator needs a more expensive pressurized tank.

Safety: Gasoline spills contaminate and leave stains and odors; propane will dissipate into the air. Propane is naturally odorless, but a distinct but harmless odor is added to warn of leaks.

Availability: Neighborhood gas stations will likely be without electricity, and unable to pump fuel, during power outages. Reliable propane tanks are as close as the backyard grill.

FAQs

How many watts does it take to run essential items in an average size house?

In an average size house, essential items will average 5000-7500 total watts of power to run.

What is the difference between Running (Rated) Watts and Surge (Starting) Watts?

Running (Rated) watts are the continuous watts needed to keep items running. Surge (Starting) Watts are extra watts needed temporarily to start motor-driven products such as refrigerators or circular saws. This is the maximum wattage the generator can produce.

Sportsman GEN7000LP 7000-Watt 13-HP OHV Propane-Powered Portable Generator Review

I bought this at the end of winter to replace my old gasoline powered one after it wouldn't start (due to the ethanol in the gas gumming up the engine) during an ice storm. I was planning to be prepared for this coming winter. I never imagined I would be using it a few months later when a tornado whipped through our neighborhood and county just before Memorial Day. We were fortunate and only without power for 4 days, but this generator came through with flying colors. I hadn't even taken it out of the box and really wasn't at all prepared for this storm. I didn't have the battery in yet so we had to manually pull start. I have neck issues but it wasn't that difficult and started quickly each time. The brochure says you will get around 8 hours on a half load, ...NOT. Try figuring on 4 to 5. Didn't seem to matter what we ran that was the average. At $20 bucks a little 20lb bottle we got into a rhythm of running it noon to 5pm for the heat of the day and again at night 10pm to 3am for showers and such.
I planned to have a large 100lb or maybe 250lb propane tank to have on hand for this winter. The initial investment of 7 additional tanks to add to my two I had for the grill cost around $300. We used 8 bottles total being conservative with the use. Off of that I supplied my house and my daughters house (next door) with power to run a refridgerator and fan, while I ran a freezer and refriderator and fan. We also had an outlet on for charging cell phones. I would turn on the hot water heater to charge it but would turn off some of the refridgerators just to be conservative. We are on a well, so it also had a big draw whenever the pump kicked on.
All and all I am delighted with my purchase, and will make sure to have plenty of propane in place for this winter! (we live on the side of the mountain and you can't always drive up the road). The nice thing about the propane it has a long shelf life unlike the gasoline powered units, so I can relax and know it will be good for a few years not a few months.
Hope this was helpful...
