If it was me i would put the gas in five gallon containers and rotate it. Put the older gas in my car and then fill up the five container.
I like that idea, but I am sure if he wanted he could get a hand crank pump for the drums to accomplish the same thing. JUST BE CAREFUL OF STATIC!
 
you cant bury a generator the guy who said about it bein air cooled is right BUT ALSO you will need an air feed to the air filter and all you will have is a buried generator over heating and the 2 noisy bits (the air intake and the exhaust) will have to be sticking out or screaming down some pipes, therefore reducing your decibels by about none lol
Oreck makes a scilent centrifical fan???

the fan may be silent but the hole for the air still remains and the noise from the gen not the fan escapes, you just need one in a box like one from an rv or boat or whatever
 
boombox insulation.

they use it in trunks to cut down noise/vibration, maybe useful on a generator, and/or to line the vent shaft itself.
 
I do a lot of traveling and RV generators can be very quiet. Onan makes some ultra quiet generators for motor-homes. I'm not sure of the price but I think I would like one that runs on diesel. I'm not 100% sure on this but don't diesel engines run on other things besides diesel? In a disaster situation gas might not be readily available and I would want something more versitile.

And booter360 they do make very nice setups and do cut noise. NorthStar or PowerHorse make good gens, i own a few myself, they work great and very well. And something to keep in mind , Electric, Electri - Recoil , Recoil - diffrent start types. If you didnt already know.
 
Nice! That is the size i would like.

Clydesdale get in contact with me via HAM radio if SHTF, be getting the Bird fueled and fired up, may take a while but , least you would be able to get out Cali haha.:ar15:
 
I know this thread is like 6 months old but I thought I would chime my two cents in. http://www.myfoodstorage.com/other-products-1/power-fuel.html This link will take you to a site that has solar generators that are noiseless. Here are the general details for one of the ones they are offering. It's $1700 and it won't power a whole house, but for a bug out shelter that is already in place it seems ideal.

The Portable Silent Generator is a silent, clean, safe, and portable lithium based silent generator.
The Portable Silent Generator can be charged from a regular AC wall outlet, or it can capture and store energy from solar panels, a hand crank, windmill or almost any other 12VDC power source.
The Portable Silent Generator stores the captured power in a state of the art Lithium Battery pack to be taken with you and used whenever or where ever you might need it.
The Sentinel has two 110VAC outlets, two 12VDC outlet and four USB outlets to allow you to easily power whatever appliances you need without the need for any inverters or adapters.
Whether you need to power a fridge, laptop computer, lights during an emergency or power outage, or whether you want to watch TV in the woods, the Sentinel will give you the power when you need it.
With the whole package weighing in at 40 lbs, it’s portable enough to take wherever you want to go. Without any noise, gas or harmful emissions, the Sentinel provides power on demand that is quiet and safe enough to use inside your home, car or even your tent.
Capturing power with or using power from your Portable Silent Generator couldn't be easier- just plug it in and switch it on!
With a 10 year battery shelf life and a rating of over 2,000 charges, the generator can be counted on when you need it most.
With a lithium battery pack that can sit for over a year without needing to be charged (we recommend charging once every 6 months), the generator will store well in your closet and always be ready to power your appliances when you need them most.

Are you on commission haha sounds cool tho
 
Nah, I tried sales one time when I first got out of the Army but it didn't work too well. Apparently you can't knock a customer in the mouth when they talk **** to you...Who knew right?

It IS pretty neat. I got one for insurance, just in case my main generator screws the pooch. That way I can still power some necassary items until I get it back online.

The original website where that company orders them from is http://www.humless.com/ A buddy and me are in the process of trying to get an ATV converted to run off solar power and they also sell the solar panels.
