Oh well, the best laid plans, etc etc....

Had planned on splashing THATAWAY this afternoon (for the first time), but KATIA is probably going to change all that! Another lady storm... :shock:

Too early to predict too accurately but it sure doesn't look good unless she picks up her skirts and turns more Northerly.

Keep everything crossed!! :thup

Gotta get more propane for genset. Burned 25% of our 400 gallons during the 5 days we were without power!!

Charlie,
How long will the generator run on one of those little green bottles they sell to the campers?
D.D. :lol:

Haven't calculated that. I do know that it ran from about 2PM on Saturday 27 August until about the same time on Thursday 1 Sept. Total of 5 days, 120 hours or so. Used about 25% of the 400 gallons of propane in my 500 gallon underground tank. 100 gallons, 1.2 GPH.

If a little bottle is 16 oz., that's 1/8 of a gallon (I think). So, it would use 800 bottles in the time that my generator ran. Don't know how much each bottle cost but my propane cost about $2.50 a gallon, or $250 for the 5 days. Even if a 16oz. bottle of propane cost a buck, mine is a lot cheaper!!

To answer your question, a 16 oz. bottle of propane would last about 10 minutes! And, the juice would be out while you changed bottles...
:roll:

Anyone is free to correct my math!! :mrgreen:

Got Gas?? Lots of Gas?? D.D. I know your question was somewhat in jest :roll: but the engineer in me can't deal with that!.
