Re: [AFMUG] PSA - check your generators!

We have a generator that we've had for almost 20 years. I always run the carb dry and/or drain the fuel when I shut it down. Still seems to be working. bp On 4/3/2016 5:09 PM, Josh Luthman wrote: I've had a handful of generators that always started on the first

Re: [AFMUG] PSA - check your generators!

We switched to all propane and we test every generator every quarter. We keep a lot of full bottles around and have Y adapters so we can deploy two tanks at a time. This gives us days of run time if need be but it's never gone that long.

For diesel generators, if you're not consuming the fuel, don't forget the fungicide. Here's a good general reference for long term diesel storage: http://www.bp.com/content/dam/bp-country/en_au/media/fuel-news/long-term-storage-diesel.pdf On Sun, Apr 3, 2016 at 5:09 PM, Josh Luthman

Re: [AFMUG] PSA - check your generators!

Weird. My snowblower always started on the 1st try until I forgot fuel stabilizer. Needed a full carb kit/rebuild. The gas in my generator has been in there for three years. It still starts...but I really need to put some new fuel in it. On Sun, Apr 3, 2016 at 6:23 PM, Josh Luthman

Re: [AFMUG] PSA - check your generators!

I always do fuel stabilizer. Drained the tank and did brand new gas. If I blow on the gas tube and "push" it through the carb it'll run for a bit. Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 On Sun, Apr 3, 2016 at 8:22 PM, Jeremy
