Maybe the gas engine will start after a predetermined time in order to simply keep everything moving?
They are aware that some people will have fuel in the 6 gallon tank for months at a time, and they say the fuel tank / system is pressurized (so it's not vented to open air at all) and this I assume will significantly delay the degradation of the gasoline in the tank.
