Now! Not when you need it, is a good time to check out your emergency generator
. Most home owners think having a small gas powered genrator solves the problem when the power goes out. It's true but only if it's in perfect working order when you need it.
Generators, just like pets and people, need a good diet and regular exercise to be in good working order (Physical condition).
Today's Gasoline blends have a very short storage life. Three months or more sitting with a tank full of stale gas will make engine starting difficult and will often create gum in the engine's fuel system, plugging carburetor jets as well as making floats stick.
To avoid fuel system problems it's a good idea to run your generator under load for an hour every three months to keep your fuel system from gumming up. A few electrical appliances or tools are all you need to give your generator a load. Make sure to refill the gas tank with clean fresh gas and a little fuel stabilizer to keep things clean for the future. Never use the bottom of the gas can that has been kept around full for an extended period of time to top up your gas tank. The last cup of gas in a container should not be used because it is usually contaminated with water and dirt. Dispose of this properly before refilling your container with fresh gas.
