Default Advice for those in path

A little advice if you need gas for generator.
Most do the bay boats hold between 40 and 70 gallons.
Fill your boat up it is enought gas for a week of running the generator.
Get a barb splice, disconnect the hose from the water separator, run extra hose out of the drain plug in the boat, hook a reducer up to the size hose your generator has and hook up directly to generator. Now you have a generator with a 40 to 70 gallon tank. I had my offshore boat for Gustavo 250 gallons hooked directley to the generator. Only time I would shut it down was to change the oil. We were out of power for 12 days..

How often did you change the oil, mine says every 20 hours that's once a day.
