Specifications

Regardless of how little you may use your generator the oil on its own will break down
losing some of its properties in 3 months. The same applies to your vehicle. You must
replace it every 3 months. If you use your generator within that time, the oil should be
changed every 100 hours or earlier. There is nothing you can do that will add more life
to your engine then regular oil changes. This is very important and is the leading cause
of engine failure.
Add Diesel Fuel
Diesel fuel only should be used. The regular diesel fuel you find at the gas station used
for cars only. Not off road vehicles, farm or construction. Some Bio Diesels that are safe
for cars are also safe for your generator however there are many different types and we
can't guarantee the quality or that it will not damage your engine. While a diesel engine
can run on many different types of fuel such as vegetable oils and other bio diesels
some can clog the fuel filter, fuel injector and fuel pump. A grain of sand is all it takes to
plug a fuel injector! Do not use old fuel. Fuel does go bad over time. Diesel Fuel is also
used as a lubricant to lubricate the fuel pump, injector and fuel valves. Now with new
low sulfur fuels on the market the sulfur that used to give diesel fuel some of its
lubrication properties have been lost. For optimal performance we do suggest fuel
additives be used especially in cold climates. This topic is covered on another page in
more details.
