How to Drain Gas From Your Generator

Draining the unused gas from your generator is a simple process to keep your seasonal gas-powered engine ready to run when you need it the most.

Why do you drain the gas? Gas changes chemistry after just a few months' time and can prevent engines from starting and running smoothly. Fresh gas is essential for good care of engines. Seasonally operated engines are more prone to having poor start-ups because they have been sitting and may have had gas left in the tank for extended periods of time. This video demonstrates how to drain the gas line of this Generac GP3250. It is simple to do. This process will be similar for most gas-powered generators and many other gas-powered small engines.

NOTE #:1 once you drain the gas line, restart the engine to finish emptying the remaining gas inside the carburetor and/or...

NOTE #2 carburetor nut: There should be a nut on the bottom of your carburetor you can also remove to drain small amounts of gas remaining already in the carburetor.

What to do with the old gas? Small amounts of clean filtered gas, I reuse in my own vehicle with plenty of fresh gas.
