On-board Generator Fuel Question

So, we are buying a used 2009 Raptor 3712TS, and it has a shared generator/fuel station tank. The previous owner only ever used the tank for the generator, but at some point we will be using it for toys as well. Do many people run super in their generators with this setup? Do I need to start doing that now, or should I wait till we start using the toys to do so?

Thanks,
Jesse

    Nayther is too cheap to run premium. I'm too lazy to buy two kinds of fuel.

    (If I could run the bikes & gen on diesel, then I'd just buy one fuel and have the lazy man's trifecta!)

    I don't use the RV fuel station for the toys, sometimes I'll fill a lawnmower. I run the cheap gas in the RV for the generator and occasional lawnmower fill up. I will add some Stabil if I expect it to sit for a while. My toys are street bikes and I fill them with fresh premium gas as needed.

    When I had the Gas truck, everything had premo.
    That way I could dump all the left over gas in the truck and hope I could make it home.

    premium
    .20 x 10 gallons = $2.00 :h

    My fuel station pump took a dump, so I put 10 gal of regular in the tank for the genny.

    Fuel jugs with race gas for the Rhino and D S bike.
    NOT that they need race gas, but it doesn't deteriorate so quick and I don't need to pull the carb apart and clean it.

    I've always ran premium the genny likes it and its a small drop in the price we pay for the trip.
