Abstract: The article provides guidelines for maintaining gas and propane generators to ensure their reliability during peak disaster seasons. It recommends using ethanol-free gas treated with fuel stabilizer for gas generators and keeping a full tank of propane for propane generators. Regular maintenance tasks include testing the generator every one to three months, checking and changing the oil, and inspecting the air filter. The article emphasizes the importance of following the manufacturer's service intervals as outlined in the owner's manual. [Extracted from the article]
