YOU do NOT work at an Onan or RV service center. It can take less than 60 days for fuel to varnish and ruin a Onan Carb. Diesel's? never had a problem, but how hard is it to start your genset once a month for 15 to 30 minutes?. As to Portable gensets, SAME THING. Even your Lawn and Garden Gas powered equipment will be ruined in 30 to 90 days if you do not run them or add stabilizer to their fuel tanks. Doug
PS, I have a LOT more experience with these things than you do.
Doug, you need to buy your E10 here in Missouri. My lawn equipment and 7K Onan sit for up to 6 months at a time with no ill effects to the carburetors or fuel injectors, with NO fuel additives.
