I watched the 5,500 watt before this one. The test compairing to two was a good, real world test as the load was the same for both gens. Heaters, hot plates and fans are a good load for this test as they don't get hurt when gen runs out of gas. People need to know that non inverter gens can ruin a newer furnace, laundry equipment, stove, fridge because they can deliver "Dirty" electricity that can destroy micro switches and electronics they now use. Inverters deliver " Clean " energy. Just google it and maybe save a huge expense. That 2,000 is a few yrs. old as it doesn't have a C/O sensor. Thanks for the video.

Answered a lot of questions for me! Thanks for doing this!

I have a Honda 1000 and 3000 and considering upgrading with a power station to a home transfer switch or interlock during power outages. Like to see the small inverter generators drip feeding the power station for efficiency and nighttime quietness. Considering a 1800 to 4K power station.

So 1650w for 5.5h makes it about 9 kwh for a full tank vs only about 5 kwh at 25% load. More reason to pair generators and portable power stations together. Gotta reap that high load efficiency as much as you can.

I just did a video comparing the fuel consumption test of two generators running the same devices, totaling 1650 watts. A 5500-watt generator at 30% vs. a 2000 watt at 100% load. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6fahXpjabV3qck

Where Do You Find Ethanol Free Gas ?

[@robertkubrick3738]

He said Wawa, they aren't everywhere.

[@Mechanical_Mind]

There are several gas stations in all areas that sell ethonal free gas. There are ethonal gas location apps to help find one near you.

@@Mechanical_Mind I followed the link to pure-gas and evidently I live in a vast wasteland for ethanol free gas, there is one about 8 miles North and the next closest is 15 miles South. Both are in different cities.

Great idea! No more guessing or depending on mfr numbers, which could be wrong. 👍

[@Mechanical_Mind]

Thanks, I think it's important to test things to confirm!

I'm about to find out how long my 2200w generator will run on an overnight camping trip😂

[@Mechanical_Mind]

Hey Billy, just curious, what are you going to be using the generator for while camping? I'm getting geared up to do some longer camping trips. I recently used a small power station and it was great but limited
