I have gotten by with mine for years, but you have to keep enough gas on hand for a few days of intermittent running.
I re-supply my 2 - 30 gallon drums each year with ethanol free gas and Stabil fuel storage to be able to run the fridges and charge the batteries.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
That’s the kind of intermittent use I have in mind.
I also plan on using only no-ethanol gas and have some Stabil on hand.
I would also recommend checking out www.driveonwood.com for ways to keep the generator going when there isn’t any gas.
Also good for small tractors. I have tried planting and harvesting an acre by hand. People are going to want the tractors running!!!
