Get yourself 10,000 gallons of fuel and you could run it non-stop for half a year. The fuel costs are always the most expensive part by far. For that, they ought to just give the darned gensets away for free, dontcha think?

By the way, saw Sheriff Blasts's comment and I needed to ask a relatively dumb question. I need to get a clean 55 gal drum to hold water. I live in Los Angeles. The local hardware stores dont seem to have them. Where would I look?

thanks,
Pete2

Emergency Essentials has the best price overall of anywhere I've found them because their shipping rate is only like $9. I've ordered assorted stuff from this company in the past and they are okay price-wise and good at customer service.
