Try Home Depot, I found myself having to rent one there a couple weeks ago.

I bought one of these little two stroke generators for my tent trailer and it works great. It was on sale for 125.99 a few weeks ago. I hope the link works. Its from Canadian tire and is actually pretty quite too. It also has a DC outlet with cables to charge regular car batteries. It runs about 6-7 hours on a tank of fuel as well.

Make sure you ask about the return policy on it if it has something wrong with it. CT has real weird return policies.

I know CT does have some wierd return policies, but i have had no problems with mine and i use it alot. On the plus side its always nice to have a genny around, you never know when the power may go out. And the price is right considering a honda is 800 dollars more for the same wattage.

remember don't need much to keep a tank going during a outage (skip lights, reactors, ozone...)

I have a basement sump with my heaters etc but if there was an outage (and have done when replaced my return line and pump) was just place a heater and a small pump for aeration in the display. All within the capacity of my cheap Prince Auto 800W unit.
