8. This isn't much help but myself I'm hoping to get a dual fuel generator

One that can run on gas or LP gas. I currently have a 500 gallon LP tank which supplies the gas for the furnace and kitchen stove. I want to replace that tank with a 1000 gallon tank or add another 500 gallon tank in parallel with the current tank.

Add ing the appropriate fittings to the gas line outside, I could easily supply gas to a portable generator supplying power to the furnace, fridge, stove and freezer.

As this won't happen for awhile, I haven't figured out the size generator I'll need or how exactly to do the electrical wiring.
