  1. Thank you for your efforts and great videos! I have a whole house emergency generator which runs on gasoline. Here is my fuel procedure: I keep the generator fuel tank filled with non-ethanol, and I keep 2 gallons of non-ethanol as "spare" for test running purposes. I run the generator 30-45 minutes/month for test/exercise. The fuel tank plus the 2 gallons is more than enough to last the year for test purposes. I change the oil and spark plug every year. I keep 40 gallons of regular 10% ethanol fuel for emergency power use during hurricane season (8, 5 gallon cans) because it's cheaper! This is about a 3-4 day supply of fuel at the full load for my home (I reduce the load by turning off some things, the generator could handle it, but I just want to extend the run time) IF we have a major power outage I will use the ethanol gas to refill the tank and keep the generator running. Once the emergency has passed, I drain any remaining ethanol gas and replace it with non-ethanol for storage. If we DON'T have a power outage, I put ALL the gasoline in my car at the end of the hurricane season, 5 gallons at a time, including the non-ethanol gasoline which I drain from the tank. In June, every year, I refill my supply of emergency fuel. So, the generator is stored with non-ethanol and ALL gas is replaced after 6 months. I don't see an advantage to the engineered fuel for emergency generator use.
