Running Gen for short amounts of time

LPG is excellent for short term use with generators as long as resupply is not an issue. Benefits include running better when cold, absolutely no oil contamination or spark plug contamination. Downsides are increased fuel consumption higher running heat generation and slightly less fuel economy. I would personally NOT run a non-LPG generator for less than a half hour.

One other downside... the temptation to skip exercise runs since there's much less danger of the carb gunking up. Condensation still forms in the oil and the exhaust still puts water in the muffler and exhaust pipe. If you're in a humid environment, there's likely to be at least some condensation in the generator section. The slip rings still need polishing by the brushes, too.
