First question, we had a need for a generator a couple times recently and the Ryobi I bought did the job. But now I'm trying to run the gas out of it to avoid a carb problem. Just how much fuel is still there when the bottom of the tank shows no fuel? It seems to run on "empty" forever.
Second question, is it okay to run it dry with no load on it? Thanks.
There could be a fair amount of fuel in the tank when it appears empty. I turn off the fuel supply to the carb and run it dry with NO load on the genset.
IMHO, I wouldn't bother emptying the tank, just store the fuel treated.
