not sure what your mechanic meant, by that. fuel only gets in the tank/carb/engine.
nothing to do with getting in the inverter. kipor are a copy of honda inverter generators (there was a big legal issue at one point) mine is 3 years old and still perfect as are many i know of.
inverter gennies are fine, and better for our hobby than the cheap gennies of non inverter type which can cause massive spikes and surges.
