I think I can get 99% of it out. Never have smelled that varnished fuel smell in two years. I installed an electric fuel pump to transfer fuel from the generator tank to the fuel station tank, so emptying it all is pretty easy.

I deliberately ordered mine without a generator to avoid the bad fuel problem and it would pretty much only get run for maintenance than actual use.

Crazy Cooter, your fuel pump to transfer fuel sounds great, how did you do it and can you provide photos? JH

I didn't photo document the install, but a inexpensive 12v fuel pump from the parts store, few feet of hose, and a switch does the job.

Did you order without a refrigerator also, to avoid any problems with it? LOL

Of course not silly! I use the refrigerator on every trip, but I have only used a generator once in the past year. Sitting without use would just be another liability and expense I don't need.

I usually put Stabil in the fuel anyway since it starts degrading as soon as it is made and delivered. Good practice/insurance with the junk we buy at the pump these days.
