Good question -- since they won't be finished with the installation until Tuesday, I have not yet been given the grand tour.

It's a diesel engine, so I suspect that there is a periodic oil change, etc. The generator will be set up to do an auto-run once a week for about 10 minutes; that should keep the fuel stirred up enough so it won't require any additives.

I'll let you know more as soon as I find out.

Thanks Michael!

After the recent quakes down south, We agreed to get a portable, propane, generator. Dang CARB compliant crap is making the inexpensive options about an extra $100 a pop.

Looking from the online manual, I'll need to run it about once a month to keep the bugs out.
