Homemade Gen-Set
Dennis Strahle, Eagle, Mich.: “I put together my own gen-set with an old engine I had and a 10K generator from Harbor Freight. Instead of putting a gas tank on the engine and letting the gas get stale from sitting for months or years of non-use, I attached a 4-ft. fuel line to the inlet side of the carburetor. When I need the generator, I grab a 5-gal. can of fresh gas off the shelf and insert the fuel hose into the fresh gas. The engine starts right up. Once the power comes back on, I pull the hose out of the gas can and let the engine burn all of the fuel in the hose and carburetor. I insert a bolt into the end of the fuel line to keep bugs and dirt out until the next time it’s needed.”
