hoping my generator parts get here, and that I really won’t need it.
When in doubt, get extra parts of the most susceptable parts that break down
Have a "fall back" plan - a generator to use gasoline, natural gas, or diesel.
#1 Gasoline is readily available and common - but lacks stability over time, due to separation (You do know that gasoline has water in it,.. right?
It needs stabilzer to store for long periods of time ), but is not temperature sensitive.
#2 Natural gas is good, because it is common, available almost everywhere, but needs pressure to keep it flowing (or in a pressure regulated container)
but it is not temperature sensitive.
#3 Diesel is not pressure sensitive, but is temperature sensitive, and uses a 'glow plug' to burn, and gives higher BTUs for energy, power, and heat. It needs stabilizer.
In extremely cold conditions (sub +10 degrees F), diesel turns to a gel unless warmed, or recirculated, and could clog fuel lines.
Harbor Freight sells a conversion kit which allows all three fuel sources to be used on any appliance; conversion kits are available elsewhere as well;
although a stabilizer is required for long term storage.
Of all three fuel sources, diesel is the easiest to store for long-term storage since it is less volatile, and needs a heat source, but stores better than all other fuels.
