Good point Tim.
Not a lot of vehicles use high test today. Who knows how fresh it is in the big tanks. Maybe I'll ignore the dealers advice and use Stabil treated low octane.

.....


I’m not saying it’s bad or worthless, but I think that stabil, just keeps the gas from rotting as fast and depositing junk in the fuel system. Don’t know one way or another, but my dad would always mix a bit of 2-cycle or Marvel Mystery oil to his lawnmower gas before he parked it for the winter.


My generator runs for 10 minutes every week, and it uses propane, which
does not deteriorate like gasoline.

But no one was discussing your generator.

Or propane.

Of course those are the advantages of propane generators: No
deterioration of fuel over time, and the second being no carburetor
clogging.

They do make a nice propane conversion kit for the Honda EU2000:

That does look nice but they just moved the "dangling regulator" to
the tank.
It looks like the same basic deal I have on mine assembled from US
Carburation. I think they all use the same off the shelf regulator and
the only special part is the metering block.
I wonder how long your 2000 will run on ~3 gallons of propane.
I have mine hooked to a big in ground tank.
I still like the gasoline option when the propane runs out.
