  1. is gas cap vented?

    1 answer

    1. The Generac GP2500i (model 8251) uses a vented fuel cap, and the vent should be open during operation and closed for storage or transport.

      Helpful?

  2. I wanted to buy it as a gift for somebody and I was wondering If it comes with oil already in it, Or if I need to get that also.  If so, what kind of oil?

    1 answer
