is it ok to leave gasoline in a generator？

Gasoline is a volatile liquid, and storing it in a generator for an extended period can lead to the following issues:

The volatile components in gasoline will evaporate, causing a reduction in gasoline density, poor combustion, and a decrease in engine power.

Gasoline may degrade over time, forming sediment or deposits that could clog the fuel system, affecting engine fuel supply, and causing an impact on the performance and reliability of the generator.

In general, it is advisable to replace gasoline stored in a generator if it exceeds a period of 3 months without use. If the generator is not used for an extended period, it is recommended to empty the gasoline to avoid the aforementioned problems.

Here are some measures to prolong the storage time of gasoline:

Store gasoline in a cool, dry place, avoiding direct sunlight.

Store gasoline in a sealed container to prevent evaporation.

Add gasoline stabilizers to prevent gasoline deterioration.

If you need to store gasoline in a generator for an extended period, it is advisable to use the above measures to prolong the storage time of gasoline.
