Winterizing our generator
I will be leaving my Tioga in Michigan this winter and will not have anyone to run my generator for 5 months. How can I best winterize my generator which runs on the motorhomes regular gas.

Interesting.
JerseyJim: How is the small quantity of Stabil or Seafoam going to diffuse into the much larger quantity of gas otherwise and how long will it take such that the treated gas will get into the gen carb? In my case I use 22 oz of Stabil for 55 gallons of gas. That is 22 oz in ~7000 oz of gas or a 320:1 volume difference.
I generally keep the gas treated such that each time I run the gen it gets treated gas unless we are on a trip and running multiple tanks of gas. In that case I'll add the 22 oz of Stabil when we get back.
Other folks generally agree.
