I have put up a site to help educate those using or planning to buy a generator for their home or business. I'm sure that some of the regulars here are familiar with it but I thought I'd mention it for those that aren't. I'm not trying to spam with this message, there really is some useful information here.

The link is: http://209.52.183.182/agitator/juice_page.htm

Here's what it contains:

Site map Ok, so the search engine was overkill and it didn't want to work on the new server anyway Here's a site map (Table of Contents) that should make things a little bit easier.

Pointers on selecting a generator What types of generators are out there, what to look for in a good one, the relative merits of the various fuels, etc.

Safety Your generator can kill you. Don't skip this page. Find out about it.

Application charts What are you going to be powering? How much juice do you need? What about electric motor start current requirements? What about my well pump?

Transfer switch info How are you going to power up your stuff? Run 15 extension cords around your house? Like to lock your doors at night?

Oil/Fuel Treatment & Storage Gasoline and diesel must be treated for long term storage; here are the treatment products you need and the drums/tanks to put that fuel in.

Generator Maintenance & Operations/Storage/Repair Make sure your generator is going to work the next time you need it, and then keep working.
