About Dual Fuel and LPG Generators
Switching between petrol and LPG is usually as simple as turning a fuel selector valve. Most dual fuel generators come with the LPG hose and regulator included, so you can connect to a standard 6kg or 13kg patio gas bottle.
LPG is the better choice for emergency home backup — it stores indefinitely, so you can keep a couple of bottles ready for a power cut without worrying about stale fuel. Petrol is handier for short notice trips or jobs.
Expect around 10–15% lower peak power output when running on LPG vs petrol, but lower exhaust emissions and a longer engine life thanks to cleaner combustion.
