If it does run often enough to burn the fuel, the generator will actually turn on solely for that reason.

- olivermarks 8y agowould be a good idea to run a good fuel preserver in the gas https://www.goldeagle.com/product/sta-bil-fuel-stabilizer/ https://www.goldeagle.com/product/sta-bil-fuel-stabilizer/ (no affiliation, I just have old cars in storage)
- URSpider94 8y agoThis mostly happens in the presence of air. As long as the gas tank is tightly sealed, this isn’t an issue. I drive a BMW i3, I regularly have a tank of gas sloshing around for months with no issues. All of the plug-in hybrids run maintenance cycles every month or so to ensure that the motor turns over and some fuel goes through the injectors.

After a year you would probably not be able to grab any random abandoned car and drive it (even if the battery held charge)
- mnw21cam 8y agoYeah, and the old jeeps in Jurassic World have 20 year old batteries and 20 year old fuel, and a couple of kids got one of them working again.
