By piece meal I assume some kind of external full house outlet to run any kind of generator..
-Propane. Set in a weatherproof housing with plumbing which won't leak over time.
-Gasoline. Flip switch. Buy a HF cheapo and a 5gal can or three set on ascending stumps (j/k) to continuously refill the bottom one.
-Plug in to the wall outlet.
-Extend a line to a neighbor or three to keep their fridge and a light running. Only use beefy sub <10g extension cords rated to carry juice at distance.
A gererator must have an automatic switch or two to shut off ALL municipal lines to and from your house. To become completely off-grid.
And that means both ways!
It could become highly illegal and dangerous to linesmen making repairs.
