Side note here regarding generators and fuel.
About 5 years ago we bought a Honda EG5000(?), it's their basic econo version. Safety for freezers, general backup, nothing fancy.
It sat in our garage for about a year and I got bored one day and thought I better test this thing out. Added oil and a gallon of NON ETHANOL gas, of course it fired right up.
Shut off the gas valve and ran the engine until it ran dry.
It sat 3-4 years unused until I recently got bored(rainy afternoon). Turned valve on and it started and ran perfect on the first pull.
I've got one still in the box that is about 8 years old now. Just bought a Champion duel fuel a few weeks back. I guess I better get it out and get it fired up.
