For California models, there is a different gas cap. Something about venting or not venting. There is an additional rotating lever on the generator's gas cap that you move to the ON position when using the unit and rotate to OFF when not using the generator. Apparently generators used or purchased out of California have a much simpler fuel cap that does not have this rotating lever. In both cases, the same unleaded fuel can be used. Only the cap is different for California models.
Leave it to California to add cost to everything. So anyone coming from out of California will use their nonconforming unit without penalty. I guess the reasoning is that it would be more rare than the 1000s of California residents using their compliant units.
