Correct. My plan is to run on gasoline when needed. I presently have two 5 gallon gas cans, a six gallon can with a hand pump on it, plus a 14 gallon tank on wheels that is gravity fed.....so 30 gallons if all are full. I installed a heavy duty "eye" bolt in the garage ceiling, supported by two trusses on one side and a single truss on the other end and through a 1/4" aluminum angle. That lifting point will allow me to use a small rope hoist to elevate the 14 gallon tank enough for it to gravity feed into the generator tank. If for some reason I get caught out during an outage without enough gasoline to make it through, I can always hook up one of several propane tanks to the genny.....with the reduced power output of course
