 |
|
I'm planning to take my generator to Candleston. I've taken it to every event so far on a site that has no power & happily provided a limited power supply for players to use. Though the cost of fuel has come up a few times & to be fair, no one has ever said that they think it is unreasonable of me to ask for contributions, so far as I can recall I've paid for all the fuel used myself. If my memory is faulty & I've maligned any body there, please accept my apologies.
This event I'm taking about 10 litres of fuel in a 20L jerrican & a five litre can. I'll leave the 5L can in a prominent place, & basically, if it's empty, it needs filling. If any of the players care to take it & bring it back filled, that would be much appreciated. If, by the end of the weekend, there's 10L or more of petrol in the jerrican I'll carry on bringing the genny to events as needed. If not, I won't bring it, or only for my own convenience.
I will run the generator as required for the weekend, or until fuel runs out. I will not buy or go & fetch more fuel myself during the weekend. If anyone (non drivers?) prefers to chip in cash instead of fuel I'll make that available if more fuel needs to be bought.
I hope this doesn't come across as too "stroppy" I've spent quite a lot of money over the occasions I've brought the genny, & now I'm fully retired I can't afford to just soak up the cost.
For technical info, it's about 2kW output. It'll run lights, probably a caravan kettle or similar load, charge batteries & laptops but I wouldn't try to run a desktop computer from it.
Looking forward to a great game.

Sounds more than fair to me. I dont drive myself (getting a lift there and back) but i will gladly donate some cash to aid the filling.

Likewise, not being in a position to drive to a fuel station, I will pass some cash your way Nige

I am also very happy to contribute to the fuel. I know the main building is lit now, but I don't know what plans there are for it IC so will be preparing for the med bay to do it's world renowned 4077th MASH impersanation, and where would MASH be without generators?

How long will we run on 10L of fuel based on previous events?
(what fuel does it run on? Petrol? Diesel? 2-Stroke?)
