STORAGE PREPARATION
Proper storage preparation is essential for keeping your generator trouble-free
and looking good. The following steps will help to keep rust and corrosion from
impairing your generator’s function and appearance, and will make the engine
easier to start when you use the generator again.
Cleaning
Wipe the generator with a moist cloth. After the generator has dried, touch up
any damaged paint, and coat other areas that may rust with a light film of oil.
Fuel
Depending on the region where you operate your equipment, fuel formulations may
deteriorate and oxidize rapidly. Fuel deterioration and oxidation can occur in as
little as 30 days and may cause damage to the fuel system. Please check with your
servicing dealer for local storage recommendations.
Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate in storage. Old gasoline will cause hard
starting, and it leaves gum deposits that clog the fuel system. If the gasoline in
your generator deteriorates during storage, you may need to have the fuel
system components serviced or replaced.
The length of time that gasoline can be left in your fuel tank without causing
functional problems will vary with such factors as gasoline blend, your storage
temperatures, and whether the fuel tank is partly or completely filled. The air in
a partly filled fuel tank promotes fuel deterioration. Very warm storage
temperatures accelerate fuel deterioration. Fuel deterioration problems may
occur within a few months, or even less if the gasoline was not fresh when you
filled the fuel tank.
