Now I understand the theory about generators, but I don't believe it. I've had gennys sit for years and they still pumped out power when fired up.
I too understand what they’re saying, but also understand that this new ‘exercise’ regime only appeared after the word “Cummins” got stuck in front of “Onan”.
It’s also interesting that the below to paragraphs appear in my Owners Manual..
“ONAFRESHTM GXLP FUEL STABILIZER
A premium fuel additive specially formulated for long-lasting prevention of gasoline breakdown during extended RV storage Protects gasoline against gum, varnish and sludge formation, and fuel system corrosion 16 oz bottle treats 40 gallons of gasoline #326-5365
ONAGARDTM STORAGE FOGGING SPRAY
Protects small engines and other mechanical equipment during off-season storage Provides protection for up to six months 12 oz aerosol can #326-5288”
Now why would they produce and promote a product designed to protect an engine during long term storage if they intend it to be ‘exercised’ every month?
Oh, I know!!!!
It’s because they have a bunch of product liability lawyers on staff........
Maybe they came out with those products so that the warehouses, stores, dealers and vehicle manufactures don't have to fire up all those generators every month. :W
