To survive our recent ice storm, I brought my 6.3 and 5kw gens. from the shop in my FEL and sat them on the back porch down wind of the house. Only had 15 gallons of gas on hand so I ran them intermittently, using the 5 most of the time as it has a 10 hp engine vs a 16 and is a lot better on fuel. Ran 100' of 12/3 and several 14' 14/3 wires all over the house to run essentials. Quite messy.
So after reading your post, I looked up Generac on www and got some details of your unit. I really like their attention to reliability and the price is very reasonable, considering. Figure another $2-3k to get it installed reliably and you're good to go. I already have the propane line running by where I would set it up with a 500 gallon tank I fill just before the October winter price increase. So, as you said, running out of fuel is not an issue.
As I get older I will be thinking more of that setup; surely if we have an inversion of "global warming" and have more frequent ice storms.
