The gas stays in my generator for years at a time, with no problems. The fuel sitting in the gas tank is not the issue, it's the gas sitting in the carburator that's the problem. When it's time to shut the generator off, do NOT use the ON/OFF switch. Instead shut off the gas at the in-line valve in the gas line. This will cause the generator run out of gas. That empties the carburator of an fuel, which will prevent gumming. The large volume of gas in the main tank is not a problem, as long as it's not an environment where condensation could start. This can be prevented by simply keeping the fuel tank full at all times.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-687517259139577562.post-70164482309195065252008-12-23T16:55:00.000-05:002008-12-23T16:55:00.000-05:00Most likely a fuel problem, gas these days doesn't seem to last without gumming things up. Try a 30 day rotation of the gas, i.e. drain it out every 30 days, dump that in your cars gas tank and refill with new gas. Also use Stabil fuel additive.Paulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06720565911005564825noreply@blogger.com
