I am pretty sure that sink 2 is closest to the main stack, based on where the sinks are in relation to the shower and toilet, but I could be wrong. Also sink 2 is the one that bubbles when sink 1 is ...

Post: RE: Whole house generator follow-up (fuel use)
I have a 10kw generator.  325 gallon tank but they only fill it to like 80% or somesuch.  based on usage data I figure on about 100 hours of run time at max fullness.  Probably less if it's cold out.
