ANYONE KNOW ABOUT PROPANE OR NATURAL GASS POWERED GENERATORS?

I specifically would like to know if they can be installed inside a garage and vented through the wall for intake and exhaust

1. They require a lot of air and I'm not sure that it would be a good idea to put it in the garage, even with a vent. I had a propane generator and kept it in its own little house that was only 3 sided

5. You will need ventilation, vented doors and vented exhaust shutters....

any engine will scavenge for air w/o it.

6. NOT a good idea

I see you're worried about flooding. Just as an idea, maybe put in a patio cover but make it sturdy enough to support the genset? Put it on the garage roof, maybe?

You really, really do not want this indoors

Sure...go ahead and fire it up.  You'll be just fine.

Put it in the house. It'll stay dry that way.

I can't believe these DUmbasses.

Of course you can run a generator in the house. That's where you need the power!

Electricity is more efficient the closer the generator is to the appliance that uses the power.

The only risk is letting the air-fuel mixture get too lean.

To prevent that, be sure all doors and windows are closed when the generator is running.

Of course. Letting the heat escape, would add to gorebull warming.
Besides, the fins on the cylinders act like little hand-warmers.

Why can't the primitives bother to RTFM ?

I mean, come on.. Am I the only one who bothers to research a big ticket item before buying it ? Determining <<IF>> you can even install something like this should have been the first thing you did, and with that research, you would have learned that installing a generator has some pretty specific requirements.. DUmbass.

That's right, DUmmies! Electricity loses its potency. The formula is called Ohm's Law, Voltage loss = Amps X Resistance.  Probably best to put the generator in the middle of the house in a small room, to keep those volts from escaping.

Why do they even need that? I heard on Art Bell that you can do cold fusion with a glass of water on your kitchen table. Just don't drink the water.
