“Our new LP3250 propane-fueled portable generator comes with a 20-lb. liquid propane tank holder built right into the frame, eliminating the need to carry the tank separately. It eliminates the hassle of a stand-alone tank and the awkward fuel line that goes along with it,” says Art Aiello, Generac Power Systems, Waukesha, Wis.
  The generator comes with a Generac OHV 212cc engine that rides on a dolly-style frame, and an integrated fuel tank holder on back. The fuel line comes out the top of the unit where it’s easy to connect to the tank.
  The dolly-style handle on back provides leverage over the wheels, which makes it easy to tip the unit back on the wheels and wheel it around. The handle folds down for compact storage.
  The 20-lb. tank provides up to 9 1/2 hours of running time, which is comparable to the running time of the same size portable gas generator, says the company.
  “Until now the only options available in a portable propane generator required the propane tank to be carried separately, where it would then sit to the side of the generator while in use,” says Aiello. “If you needed to move the generator and its fuel tank you had to pick up the tank in one hand and use your other hand to maneuver the generator. With the LP3250, you’re maneuvering both the generator and tank as a single unit.
  “Another advantage is that if the power gets knocked out it can be difficult to get gas to refuel a standard generator. But there are liquid propane tank exchanges all over North America, so in an emergency it can often be easier to get your hands on liquid propane than gas.
  “Unlike gas, liquid propane can be stored indefinitely without deterioration and safely transported without spillage. Propane also emits low carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons and fewer toxic pollutants than gas.”
  Manufacturer’s suggested retail price for the LP3250 is $619.
