I am a little busy but there is one thing I want to say.
Any Generator that uses 5 gallons every eight hours is the WRONG Generator.
The Generator should be one of the smaller Honda Type Generators with just enough capacity to power the one thing you need to supply power for that uses the most current, like the Refrigerator or Freezer. Everything you need to power should only be connected to the Generator when needed. There is no reason for everything in the house to be hooked up to the Generator at the same time.
