The decision to invest in a backup generator is always a smart one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Natural disasters, inclement weather, and all kinds of man-made accidents can force you to be without power for extended amounts of time. With a backup generator, though, those issues are mitigated (if not eliminated) completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the same time, though, your backup generator is only going to be as effective as your fuel source is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you run out of fuel your backup generator is going to go dark, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s where tri fuel source generators come into play.<\/p>\n\n\n
Tri fuel source generators are specifically designed to run off of three independent fuel sources \u2013 usually gasoline, propane, and natural gas.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n These different fuel sources<\/a> can all be used to operate the generator at 100%, allowing a user to flip between different fuel sources depending on their power needs and what they have available for fuel on hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Obviously, these kinds of generators are significantly more resilient than single fuel source setups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll never have to worry about running completely out of fuel if you have the option to run multiple different kinds and are able to stockpile different fuel sources for different purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that we\u2019ve covered what is a tri fuel source generator a little bit, it\u2019s time to dig through the benefits and advantages they bring to the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The biggest advantage is the fuel flexibility these generators offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gasoline is probably the most readily available fuel source for a backup generator. Every gas station across the country (and around the world, even) has this fuel source readily available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Natural gas is also relatively easy to get your hands on. It\u2019s a very efficient and clean fuel source, though you\u2019ll have to make sure that you are able to safely store and secure your natural gas reserves to run your generator off of.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPros of Tri Fuel Generators<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
