I have a generator that's good enough to run most of the household, but its illegal to use it in this way unless you have the special switch,.. its so that you don't electrocute the man fixing the problem in the power station

..all it does is have `Mains on`,.. `generator off` and visa verse,..so when the Generator is on the mains power is off.

I know,.. it runs on petrol,.. we also have quiet a bit of that stuff too...

Treated petrol I hope ? and your genny stored in a metal container ???

errrr well no,..... not at the moment, just in the shed I am afraid, hoping that we don't get an EMP .... I am also hoping that a genny would survive,.. not quiet sure about that though, it would depend on how bad the pulse way

Petrol is used on a rotary system, so none of it is too old
