We have had two GMC coaches. I have spent considerable $ and time on gas lines, tanks, caps. My Beloved loves the GMC but can sniff out gasoline when it is one part per billion.
The last time we ran the Onan we were dry camping. That night we got in bed and had a humorous talk about how many brain cells she was loosing.
Of course, I checked everything and I think we had a weeping carburetor. But I am a propane guy. Pickup is on propane. If I could get tanks in I would have the GMC on propane. But now I have the Onan on propane.
How does it start? Turns over twice and is running. No apparent warm up.
Does it smell? No.
Does it run well? Like it is fuel injected.
Does it put out power? It ran the roof air and the water heater fine and about 1/2 throttle.
Does it put out correct voltage? 126 just like before.

That would sure not work for us. My significant has a nose for propane and can smell it after combustion. Makes no difference what the use is, grill, weed burner, torch, water heater or the brand new high efficiency furnace. Fortunately she is a car gal and a slight gasoline smell does not bother her, once she determines it is not a problem that I need to fix.
