That makes a lot of sense. Those things probably don't expect to go much
beyond 50 hours per oil change, but over a longer period of (calendar)
time. Every 3rd extended run would get you at least 150 hours if you got
2 days per run. It would be on the order of 200 hours if you got 3 days
per run.

We ran the extended tanks a lot on a few 1000's for the 16-17
megawinter out here. Be sure and follow the maintenance on them when
you do extended runs of those 2-3 days as they will trash their oil
doing that. We got to where we were changing the oil every third
extended run and it showed in the oil we were pouring out. We didn't
at first and now one of the 1000's is running pretty smokey compared
to the other two.

The extended fuel tank certainly de-stresses the situation.

You need an inverter generator which generates clean sinewave power.
The best and most reliable will be the Honda eu1000 or eu2200 which
we have one and it's been awesome! Will last forever if you follow
normal maintenance schedule. They should be stocked locally at any
place that sells tools or generators.
We also bought and extended runtime tank on eBay to allow it to run
up to 2 or 3 days without a refill.

We found that on our APC ups units pretty much all of them
work from most generators if we change the input sensitivity
from high to medium. Apparently has something to do with
how it views the square wave of the input power.
