What Fuel Type is Best for Portable Generators This Summer?
As we enter the hottest month of the year, power outages become more likely with increased demand on the grids. A portable generator can provide welcome relief when your home loses power. But what type of fuel should you choose for reliable operation and easy refueling?
Gasoline generators are the most common and are easy to refill from the corner gas station. But gas has a short shelf life and can gum up the fuel system if left unused for months between outages. Propane generators cost more upfront but the fuel lasts indefinitely, making them a better choice for occasional emergencies.
Diesel generators are more expensive but extremely durable and fuel efficient. The diesel fuel remains stable for 1-2 years stored, ready to put to work when you need backup power. Compare noise levels and outlet capacities as well to choose the best portable generator for your needs.

Proper fuel selection and storage extend generator life and ensure it's ready to power essentials when you need it most. Stay cool in the summer heat with peace of mind knowing you have backup power ready to go.
