We also have a LP Onan generator & had not heard of this problem. In looking into the situation it seems that California allows the sale of HD-10 LP, which is a lower grade of fuel than HD-5 that is sold here in NC and the rest of the country. So, my questions are, 1) is this correct, and 2) if so, is the gumming problem due to HD-10, and restricted to California, or is HD-5 also an issue?
The gumming problem has been around for 20 years and is all over the USA. This "gumming" is one reason we do NOT option the LP Genset if offered and we have NOT since we stopped in 1999. Of course, Diesel Gensets have dropped a lot in price since the mid 90's. That price difference is one reason OEM's offered 2 Gensets. 1 with LP and the lot more expensive Diesel. Even Travel Trailer LP systems can "gum" up. Especially if the LP lines have a LOOP in them. Doug
