Post Subject: Fuel storage and GeneratorHello. Few queries having Just bought a compact Petrol Generator. Chosen for low noise and easy handling as well as output. Have been nervous about the choice of petrol on board. Any advice of where to store the Jerry can of spare fuel? When not on board where would you put the Generator (it is currently in the shower room out of sight which is ventilated by a louvered door and an open window panel). I notice the Gen' has a normal socket for connection - I have assumed wiring a rubberised plug onto the end of my spare shoreline cable will be perfectly OK? I have never seen anyone run an earth cable from a generator into the ground - is this right or should the generator be earthed when in use on board and on shore? Thank you!
