I have a 26 ft.Fifth Wheel Travel trailer in a small RV park up in Yellow Pine, Idaho. About six years ago I bought a 3500 watt gasoline powered generator because it has a 120v./30 amp. receptacle to accept a standard RV power cord.
Last year it started right up when I checked it out and I know the fuel must at least partly about five years old and the newest fuel in the tank has to be at least three years old. If I manage to get up there to my summer "estate" again this year, I'll let you know if that old fuel still works.

Maybe those Chinese one lung engines haven't heard about american mogas going too sour to work.
