Preventing such generator start failures is straightforward with industrial-grade fuel filters like MicFil.

These filters have a 0.5-micron filtration capability, making them a stalwart choice in generators and ships where failure is not an option.

Implementing a system that circulates the fuel/oil in the generator twice daily for a designated duration with a bypass pump to ensure cleanliness is straightforward. Issues with batteries, fuel, and water (via condensation) are the top culprits for generator start failures and should be addressed accordingly.

It is still a miracle to me why datacenters think they're special?
