Does this generator have an oil guard and fuel gauge? How loud is it?

yes it will shut down if low on oil, has a fuel gauge, loud as a gas lawn mower with a good muffler

Do you mean auto shut down when it's low on oil? Yes it shuts down. When I read the reviews for this generator I noticed some negative comments about the F gauge, but I like it just fine. When you can't see the red bar, put in more gas and you'll neverrun out.

The generator listed #56352 is a gas unit. No oil mixing with gas.It runs on regular.

This is an outstanding piece of equipment. Yes there is an indicatory on the fuel tank showing amount of gas in the tank. Blackstone

I would tend to agree. I have to use starter fluid and carb cleaner each time I use the generator to get it running. It's almost brand new.

It has a sealed bearing, but there is a place to oil it. Runs quietly. Hope this helps.

Yes. I do it all the time. It tends to be a tad louder from the plastic parts slightly rattling from the engine vibrations. I hadn't even noticed it until a couple we know joined us one weekend with their trailer and Honda generator.

I love ours we had it at our camp site running our big motorhome with 4 other people and I ran it all night and it didn't bother no one we even had a small bear come and laid by it so I would say it doesn't run loud and it runs a long time when it shuts off by it self make sure you check the oil right away over all me and my husband would recommend it to any one

The noise is no more than others that I've heard. As far as the gas gauge goes there is one at the top of the tank. But I don't think it's that accurate because when I filled the tank it was reading about three quarters full. There is a low oil shut off. That being said I don't think you can go wrong for the money. I'm glad I made this purchase.

Yes, use regular gasoline and always check the oil level of the generator before you start it.

It's not silent, obviously, and I don't have any other generators to compare it to, but to me it seems relatively quiet. When I run it out on the driveway about 8 feet from the garage with the exhaust pointed away, I can't hear it in my house unless I go upstairs to the room directly over the garage. Even then, it's not particularly loud. I certainly don't need ear protection when I'm standing next to it. There are some videos on youtube you can listen to, such as: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqIPeDCumrY

yes, but a little noisy. better for construction, industrial, agriculture.does put out some heat. Been running are's on diesel, cheaper fuel source.

Its makes noise when starting, and hey it's basically a lawnmower engine, BUT it's a small price to pay for having power automatically. You won't even have to get out of bed if you lose power in middle of night. And I learned from Sandy, gas generators are useless when no-one can pump gas. Also I had a blown piston, which was covered under warranty, and a local company they recommended came, picked it up, replaced engine and reinstalled it fast easy and FREE. A great company. Plan on using this in all future flips. It's a MUST if you have well water and a grinder pump as I do.

Thank you for contacting us. Yes, this generator has a fuel shut off valve.

Not sure of your question here. Yes, it has an auto shut down which is very sensitive to the level. Make sure the oil goes up to the mark (threat on filler hole). The engine hour meters rotates through the total run time, Hertz, and voltage. You just have to change the oil on the schedule in the instruction book.

It makes a lot less noise than a typical Contractor-type generator however it makes more noise than my wife's sewing machine. Seriously when I take it camping I just set the generator up at the front of my truck and run a cord to the back of the truck and I hardly hear it.

not as loud as a diesel or gasoline generator. let's face it, there is an engine running, it is going to make noise.

It's loud - certainly louder than the Honda, but it's a large generator. I can't give you a db level. We run it in front of the garage and it doesn't bother us inside - we slept fine. Our neighbors all live a 1/4 mile away so I don't think they notice it
