You better exercise that sucker once in awhile if it sits outside fully fueled. Many electronic devices can tolerate 24/7 with few failures. Disk drives? Now that's a question. The early ones (sealed ones - not the very early ones where the platters were removable 12" disks) seemed to do better if they ran 'til they croaked. The early drum recorders seemed to last forever as long as they didn't stop running. (the heads rode on a wave of silicon oil and never touched the belts unless they stopped)
