I usually run mine dry too. My genny gets stabilizer cause I may never know
when I am going to need it, but I do run it for 10 min every month.
Lawnmowers, my tiller and my pressure washer get the run dry method.
Whatever gas is in the tank I add stabilizer and then run it dry. My
grandfather would save used oil and mix this with the gas then run it dry.
Don't quite remember if he ever had any problems, but I guess it worked for
him.
