This is an outstanding generator that only needs a little help in understanding how to use it. There are two things: Oil and Gas that need some explanation. Filling with oil - Do not tip it back to fill it (as some say you can do) because it will run through the engine and out the air filter, resulting in the need to get oil out of the filter, housing, and off the floor, which was a big mess. Just add oil in a level position using a funnel until it will not hold anymore. GAS - mine apparently ran out of gas but seemed to indicate it still had gas in the tank according to the indicator. Looking down inside it also seemed to have gas, so that puzzled me as to why it quit running and caused me to try to add oil it didn't need (I forgot it has a light to tell you when it needs oil). So apparently the gas indicator is not very accurate because I added 4 gallons of gas and everything worked fine. Another note, make sure the ground is level when the gas tank is full or it will overflow due to vibration.
Since then the generator has run a 6000 BTU Frigidaire unit, lights, and power equipment off one 115 volt leg, only popping the 15amp circuit breaker once. In other situations I would have split the load between the two 115 volt legs of the generator's output and prevented this possibility.Get more detail about ETQ TG32P12 4000 Watt 7 HP 207cc 4-Cycle OHV Gas Powered Portable Generator (Non-CARB Compliant).
