Newbie questions.
Why did you add a washer between the tank and the nut?

Given that Lake Michigan Wisconsin has wonderful winter weather (up to -50F with wind chill) it will live in a enclosed shed. Back up generator for house and barn.
Intend to purchase 805.
Are the A and B model Generators the same aside from control screen of analog vs. digital?
