I have been working hard to be better prepared for disasters. I have a big generator that can operate my whole house. I am on a well and a septic but I started thinking about the fuel useage and its quite a bit. I have been thinking about how to get by without the generator running all the time. I got to thinking about storeage tanks in my attic. I have this huge attic and was thinking, if I had a storage tank up there, I could run the generator long enough to fill the tank overhead. Do you think I would have enough water pressure from gravity? I am aware of the weight... 8 lbs per gallon and all that. I have a good place in mind that I could brace up from below in my garage. In the summer it would be hot, in the winter cold, not sure about freezing. Even one 50 gallon drum would flush a toilet like 30 times.
Im sure this has been discussed before but I couldnt find in on a search.
Anyone else thinking along these lines?
