Well I sent a check today to Canada for the generator. I imagine the fuel issue will get sorted out in due time. Until then, I will use diesel from the gas station and worry no more.
I will let everyone know how everything goes with the transaction, delivery and quality of the product. Thanks for all of the input.

Pretty Sad situation.
When Rudolf Diesel invented the diesel, one of it's main benefits was that the diesel could run on a variety of fuels. Fast forward 100 years or so, and now some copycat Chinese company, ripping off a Japanese design, that they improved in no way at all, has a potential US customer woried about a voided warranty from running a non-road taxed clean fuel. I'd look elsewhere just on the principle of the whole bs.

Just a thought but maybe they are looking for any reason to deny warranty coverage?

any 'out' they can use to reduce liability..

I got the Open Frame. I went through their office in Ontario. I mailed out a check on the 5th and am waiting to hear from them. My Pro/Tran 10-Circuit 30 Amp Generator Transfer Switch Kit arrived but I have been too busy to even take it out of the box.

This is the same unit I have. It has performed well up to this point. I have about 40 hours on it so far.
