finally a fuel injected generator!
Hi all, This may change the landscape a bit! https://generatorbible.com/generators/lifan/esi-4000ier-efi-ca/

Perhaps Honda will take notice. A long stroke slower inverter gen with EFI would be worthwhile.
However fuel injectors tolerate zero bad gasoline. Bad gasoline screws up spray patterns and this means replacement and not screwing around with mouse milk additives.
I would not operate any FI generator except LPG that did not have a RAcor filter with S series 1-micron element. Rather difficult with a small inverter Honda or Yamaha. That's why I pre-filter and Jesús pre filters gasoline for his lancha with 60 HP Yamaha. I scored a single Tri Sure 55 gallon drum non magnetic stainless steel back in the eighties. Méxican Customs threw a fit but I kept insisting it was for safe water. They had no idea it was stainless steel.
The amount of garbage a RAcor catches is disheartening using a 1 mm S series element. They do make a small filter for 60 PSI gasoline systems. Besides the day tank my Kubota has a Detroit Diesel set of large spin-off primary and secondary filters then the RAcor. And fuel is max treated with anti fungus additive. New fuel for the 65 gallon day tank runs through a 12 volt transfer pump then a Detroit primary fuel filter which clogs seasonally. Mexican diesel is atrociously contaminated.
Perhaps India will get interested in building a good small FI generator. They already build the world's best large single cell flooded battery. 3,000 amp hour 290 Kg.
They are also building single unit lithium batteries for littoral submarines. Price and other info unknown.
