That is an absolutely a must for two cycle engines and their reed
valve, such as a chain saw.

For maximum reliability, develop a schedule of running the generator
for an hour once a month, or whatever other schedule you decide on.
Then you know for sure that the generator will start and run. Once you
develop the schedule, stick to it.

Better fuels for storage considerations are propane and diesel,
although diesel shouldn't be stored above ground in sub-freezing
temperatures. In some climates it will gel.

Other things to consider if power outages are a problem are heat and
light that do not use electricity.

Hi Earle,
I guess you never experienced the jellyfish like microorganisms
that contaminate diesel that sits for any length of time like in a boat,
or large truck. When disturbed by pumping agitation, this growth forms a
green slime that can quickly clog fuel filters.

Actually diesel has just as short a 'shelf life' as gasoline.
Especially worse if you have any copper alloys in the delivery system.
For longterm storage and reliability ... nothing beats propane
