- 64thunderboltExplorer IIjust use stabil & seafoam in the gas & you won't have any problems. Seafoam is the most critical add. If used regularly the gas will not varnish.

A 30lb propane tank will last only 12 hours.
Every try to start a propane generator when it's really cold? - 64thunderboltExplorer IIpropane derates the gen. A 4K will be a 3.6K on propane.

yes but propane gens are very thirsty and unlike adding a gallon of gas which you can get from anyone you are camping with, you will have to drive the beast to a propane fill station and get it filled.
The nice thing about the propane is you will never have to worry about the ethanol gas going bad, rotting gas lines or plugging the carb up. It is a win win in my book.
