Gasoline storage is easy....use fuel stabilizer...one oz to 2-1/2 
gallons of gasoline.

But you should run any gasoline engine regularly to keep it in good 
working order.  Once/month long enough at least to reach operating 
temperature.  This keeps oil in bearings and seals in good shape.

I know most just park their lawn mower over winter with gas in the 
tank.  But an expensive gen set needs a little TLC to keep running 
well...like changing the oil and filters (oil and gas).

We have enough outages that fuel is not stored longer than a few 
months (and I use stabilizer).
