The Hero Of Our Home And Three Day Trip to Philly - This Honda Tri-Fuel Generator

Our Honda 2000 Tri-Fuel Generator

It is 6:00 PM Sunday and we just got home from a three day trip to Philadelphia to visit with family.

Last Wednesday - Hurricane Michael hit Tallahassee and knocked out power to 95% of the 185,000 residents of this lovely tree-lined Southern city. Several years ago - I bought this wonderful Honda generator - so what - big deal. Everybody has a generator. But not like this one. This one is adapted to run on 3 fuels - gasoline - propane - and natural gas. The large regulator on the side is for natural gas. You run a hose directly to a natural gas tap on the side of our home. We also use that tap for our gas grill. While running on natural gas - you have no smelly fumes - you don't have to be filling it up with a gas can every 5 hours. It just runs and runs and runs.

Our Honda trike has been running straight for 5 days! It has been powering our refrigerator - television - lights - phones - computers - and even a hair dryer. 2000 watts is a lot of power when using LED light bulbs.

While away we had a house sitter - but she said everything went well. She was ready to shut down the generator when the power came on. Alas - power is still off. We are still pretending to be a third world country here. Not to make too much light of it - many people are suffering west of us because the storm steered left away from our town and home. They are living in a war zone - and will be for months and years.

I bought the generator here -

I think I paid $1250 for it - 6 years ago.

If any of my neighbors want to come over and check it out - you are welcome. It sure beats paying $9000 for a whole house generator.
