In addition to the carbon monoxide problem, is there also not the issue that fuel last only for half a year (a bit more with some additives) ?

Btw, anyone know how entities (e.g. hospitals) with fuel-based emergency generators manage their fuel supply?

It's not necessarily gasoline could be a diesel generator which would last significantly longer. I bought an RV that had been sitting for 8 years with a full tank of diesel and it fired right up. Smokey and smelly but it still functioned.
