I regularly use many of the items on this page but I am not a dealer for them. I know just how hard it is to locate the exact item you are looking for when so many Items look alike. I have compiled this list of items along with links to where I ordered them from in order to help you get the exact item I recommend. Each link will open a new tab on your browser and take you to the proper website to get the product you are interested in. If you are buying some items from my website and also buying items listed on this page from other websites you will need to finish checking out from each site individually. Just to be clear, some items on this page pay me a commission and some do not, however I use and recommend all of them.
Fuel caddy to use as remote fuel tank.
Many of the newer small marine tanks have poorly designed lift tubes that do not work properly. For details on the issues with the lift tube on some tanks watch the Lift Tube Issues Video. I am recommending the use of a fuel caddy as a fuel tank, for several reasons. No lift tube means no lift tubs associated problems. The caddy has wheels and at my age wheels beats no wheels any day. The caddy holds 14 gallons but there is no law that says you must fill it all the way full if you are only going to need 8 gallons of fuel. I have even developed a Fuel Caddy Connector Kit that will convert the caddy into a remote fuel tank. Please take a few minutes to watch Why I recommend using a Fuel Caddy for a Remote Tank video.

50 Amp power cord for using portable generator as home back up power.
These cords have 90 degree ends at both ends so they do not try to come unplugged when in use. They are pure copper with 3 6guage conductors and 1 8guage conductor. They have NEMA 14-50P connector at one end and a NEMA SS2-50R Twist Locking connector at the other end. They come in several lengths, I recommend the 15ft or the 25ft for most applications.

Recommended Portable Generators.
These are the Top Portable Generators Recommended by Pinellas Power Products. The methodology of this list is, if I need this much power, what generator would I buy based on value per dollar.
