Portable Generator For Sale

are there any circumstances when a portable gas generator is safe to operate in a screened-in porch?

I'm thinking most of the Carbon monoxide comes out the exhaust pipe. Why not add a longer pipe(12 ft) to extend the exhaust pipe so the exhaust can be directed outdoors away from the indoors. Also, high velocity fans can be used to blow the air away from the indoors. Two carbon monoxide detectors would be helpful. limiting the time of day and the number of hours of use might help. definitely don't want to sleep while the generator is running.

1. Hi, You will be better off building an enclosure outside of your porch. It will also be much quieter. S1lent
2. on a sreeened porch you could just run the generator without doing anything else.
3. How about putting the generator some place else (away from the porch) and using extension cords to bring the power to the porch? Just a thought...
4. NO!
5. not only can co cause death but if it don't kill u it can leave u brain damaged,u want to be in a home drooling and soiling yourself,,dont run it anyway near your house
6. Why would you even consider running the genset on the porch? Leave it away from the house and use heavy extension cords. You already know what the exhaust can do , so don`t do it. Or just pay your hydro bill and not worry about it. Fuel costs per day will be 4 times what hydro will cost
