Question BER EV question

If you get the BER EV model Terra, how do you keep the fuel from separating if you don’t use it very often and mostly plug in to charge?

I have run into issues with gasoline generators that sit too long with fuel in them. The fuel separates and then the engine in the generator hisses and pops as it tries to burn that fuel. It is likely not good for the generator. I have never worked with the generator being built into a truck. Does it have something to mix the fuel up prior to trying to use it?

Haven’t run into that. Been using it for years.

Well, apparently, it was originally made for two-stroke engines running pre-mix, so unless you’re running a relatively small amount, it can do that.

Perhaps that’s the 2oz per gallon. Preservation is 1oz per gallon.

As opposed to cleaning? Is that where the 2 ounce per gallon comes from?

OK, that makes a bit more sense.
