I have ten gallons of gas in cans set aside for my generator. In the spring and in the fall I will rotate this gas into my vehicle. Where I live the gas in the winter is treated with ethanol so I try normally fill up in October and May before they convert to the ethanol gas. When I put the lawn gear away and when I pull it out is a simple timing reminder to rotate my gas.Buy the Awesome New Gas Cans

Spilling gas with the old gas cans has always been a dangerous messy thing. The new spouts that keep you from overfilling your tank are awesome. Gas spills all over your lawn mower or generator are a thing of the past.

I am a big fan of Stabil gas additive. If you start your generator 10 to 20 times a year while weed eating you will get used to starting your generator. While I never hope to have to use it I always have a can of Starting fluid nearby so if I cannot start my generator in an emergency the starting fluid should do the trick.Rotating my Generator Gas

I also pull my generator out when I am doing a building project outside. I could run cords from the garage or the house but just for the fun of it I will often start up the generator. Since I use it regularly, it is always ready to go. I want to run at least a tank of gas through my generator every year and this helps. I have converted away from the battery powered tools because the batteries will die in two to four years if you use them or not. Good electric tools, a couple of good extension cords and a generator will be a lot less expensive in the long run.

I usually do not fill my generator with gas. Since I usually only use it for 20 to 30 minutes at a time I only fill the tank half way. I never want to run my generator out of gas but I don't want the gas getting old in my generator either.

This is one of my favorite ideas for keeping my generator active. I use it to weed eat my lawn. I used to have a cranky gas weed eater that had such a short pull string on the motor it was a pain to start. I bought a nice electric weed eater and now this guarantees my generator will get a couple of hours a year on it. I use a good 25 foot extension cord and move my generator around the house.

The proper care and feeding of your Recreational Inverter Generator is pretty simple. It can be summed up in two words. USE IT.
The worst thing that you can do to your generator is not use it. Letting it sit under the pile of garden, camping and other stuff in the garage will mean it might not work when you need it the most.
