1.5.5 GENERATOR

Generac does not recommend using any

! gasoline containing alcohol (such as “gasohol”).

If you use any gasoline containing alcohol, it must not contain more than 10 percent ethanol, and it must be removed from the generator during storage. Do NOT use any gasoline containing methanol. If you use gasoline with alcohol, inspect more frequently for fuel leaks and other abnormalities.
