"The generators should have had a MONTHS' fuel?
Have you ever run a generator system? Keeping fuel fresh is an ongoing problem for little-used generator systems"
The WTC had such a generator - its tank caught on fire and burned down the building next door.
They have fuel stabilizers and nitro flushes - ps what about natural gas? LP?
Theres a million wasy for this not to work - the trick is to get the one or two ways it will work.
I understand. But generator systems don't typically run on LP. They mainly run on diesel. They also are not generally built to run unattended for weeks on end. Backup generators will get you through the first few days, but thereafter plans will have to be made that take existing conditions into account.

"An annual sampling and testing of the fuel oil tanks at our Allen Turbine facility revealed that the fuel oil stability in one of the tanks had deteriorated to a 17 Pad Rate. 1.8 million gallons of fuel has been fully treated with PRI-D and we have re-sampled the tank and tested the fuel. The Dupont Pad rating with PRI-D treated fuel went from a 17 to a 3, fully meeting TVA specifications - " TVA
