Onan Generator question

Does anyone know if the Onan Generators being installed in the Seismic units are fuel injected or not? Onan has a fuel injected version of the 5500 now and it is only 100 dollars more. However there is a 300 pumps system that needs to be added also. However I would pay the extra 400 and not even blink. The fuel injected version can handle ethanol way better. When I get ready to purchase if they are installing the one with the carb I may just get it with the prep package then buy and install my own generator.

Our first Onan was a 5500 carb circa 2001 and when it wasn't exercised regularly the carb would have to be replaced to the tune of $225, twice in 10 years. The fuel pump also failed and it was around $40.
Our last two Onan's have been the quiet diesel and although regular exercise is still recommended they don't suffer from the same service needs.

Our thought is that a 5500 fuel injected would be the better choice over the long term.

The 5500 in our 2017 Seismic has a carb.
