That's 11 pages of insanity. I love BC but some aspects of services & roads are sketchy at best in winter.

7500 watt generator. It powers the tank entirely including lighting + fridge and freezer. One thing I did not realize after living my whole life in Mississauga where there never were long power failures is generators eat gas like crazy. Sure I can power everything but a full tank only lasts about 11-12hrs. I keep an extra 5 gallons around so I can always go 24hrs without leaving the house.

I was just reading about someone in Puerto Rico keeping their tank on a generator / solar panels for 40 days. If that happened here I'd probably run out of gas money before I lost the will to refill the generator twice a day.

I have a 250 galon and I have a 22kw honeywell generator that runs on natural gas. Im in a wooded area and we lose power almost every year now. You dont even know the power has gone out the lights flicker and the genset is on. It has enough power to run my whole house, sump and heat pump.
