Chad, if you want to run a generator on VO (W or S) check into the Listers or Listeroids which are low RPM, agricultural-type engines. They are relatively quiet compared to the standard, high RPM types. There are a number of sites devoted to them and many threads about running them on VO. Hook it up to a powerhead and your ready to get off grid.

If I weren't smack dab in the middle of suburbia, had the time to collect, filter and room to store the stuff, I'd consider it. I have given thought to something like that for our camp in Maine, though.

Any other news yet?
