I'm planning to buy a Honda 2000 Generator as a back up power supply for use at home and when we are out in the trailer. The primary purpose for the power supply is to provide backup power for dialysis machine that we need to use on a nightly basis. Dialysis time takes about 9 hours. The machine takes between 600-100 VA to operate. The higher voltage is used when the machine is using it's dialysis fluid heater. My guess is that about 3 hours of the 9 hour run time is spent with the heater on.
My major concern is carrying fuel in my van. Much as I don't like carrying this in the van, I don't see another alternative at this point. Is there anyone with a suggestion of a fuel container that one could consider relatively safe for this kind of duty? Obviously I don't need anything gigantic. Just enough fuel to replenish the Honda tank in case we lose power in the middle of the night. Typically the generator will be transported or stored full with the appropriate fuel stabilizer added. I'd go after fuel the next day or potentially move to another site or campground with power.
