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.
We had a small fuel injected outboard as our primary propulsion on our catamaran...it was awesome. No problems like those with carbs had.
We had an inline filter but nothing fancy. Had over a 1000 trouble free hours on it when we sold the boat.
Sounds like they need a quality manufacturer to take up the cause but otherwise, it's a great idea.
