Yeah the emissions system on a gasser is no fun.

I hate messing with my small engines (lawn mower, generator, power washer). Those are the only gas powered devices at my house. They only get Ethanol Free gas, luckily I am close enough to a recreational lake that the gas station near my house can sell it.

Whenever my wife and I build a house (after the kids get out of school) I plan to install a military surplus MEP-802 or 803 generator just so I can have something diesel powered. I have one of those Home Depot "5 kW" generators on a cart and they are good for running the fridge and a few lights but not much else.
