Whether a fuel system or an engine, the problem with MIC is serious and costly. Corrosion represents the single largest expense in the US economy, 6.2% GDP. For the fuel system owner, the liability of a potential fuel release is very real if fuel quality is not maintained. For the engine owner, failure is common. It has been noted that 90% of generators do not start or stop shortly after starting during an emergency. Over 75% of those engine failures are due to bad fuel.
