For those of you that use a 1000W generator, do you carry a separate fuel supply for it? Or does the tank hold enough for normal use? Does it burn 100LL? Or are you running car gas in your plane?
Great thread!
Contrary to others experience I run my Honda 1000s and 2000s on 100LL almost exclusively and never had a problem. Same goes for my snowmachines, chainsaws, outboard motors, weedwhackers or whatever. I just got back from 12 days at my cabin, ran Honda 1000 probably 3-4 hours a day with temps down to -25, just purrs on 100LL. My Arctic Cat 570 fan Bearcat has 5800 miles on it and never had a drop of auto fuel in it other than the first tank from dealer in 2010. I see no need to have anything other than 100LL at cabin cause I’ve never had any issues with it, and auto fuel has terrible shelf life and all sorts of additives that I have no need for. Bring a small 1 gallon can so you can drain 100LL from plane and fill Honda. Usually can get 2 preheats per full tank on 1000i.
