I think the smaller 80cc generators running on propane don't put out full power. Honda having a 50% displacement advantage (120cc vs 80cc) has to help.
The Chinese clone Yamaha 80CC MZ engine was used in the Champion 2500 inverter generator as too the Wen 2350 and both these generators kept up with the 120cc of the Honda engine in its 2200 watt inverter generator. The difference in the two is the torque the engine produces. The 80cc engine has a set RPM of around 5000-6000 RPM which it is at its peak band of power in the upper RPM range, while the 120cc operates at its lower RPM range of 3300-3500. Even with the disadvantage, the 80cc engine just has to work a bit harder to keep up with the 120cc, but during idle it has better fuel economy.
Gavins Garage tests the dual fuel Champion 2500 on both fuels. On gas, he can pull full rpm (4800) and 1850 Watts. On propane, he can pull 1750 Watts at only 4300 rpm.
Nice! Is there a way to have this setup but with a dual propane tank (with auto change over)? I read somewhere that the autochange over lowers the pressure too much. That true?
Hi Albert, we haven't experienced any issues when using an auto changeover. The pressure off that should always output 0.5psi. If the pressure drops below that, then you have a faulty regulator. What can affect the pressure is having too small of a hose diameter size, you should really be running 1/2" ID hose size for anything over 10ft. It's like running a marathon while breathing through a straw, you wont get very far. Having the correct hose size is important to maintain volume of fuel flow.
@@GrenergyTriFuel that’s great news! I’m planning on buying 2 kits. Question about the included vents.. I noticed the other guys don’t have vent holes. Are these necessary? Trying not to keep the stock look and cut least amount of holes possible
Gasoline fuel matches the factory rated wattage output on the generator. No different than every other video posted on UA-cam. If your thinking gasoline makes more power, it won’t. Power output and the electronic governor is limited by the engine control module inside the inviter unit of the generator. You can head over to Gavin’s Garage UA-cam Channel to see his test of the dual fuel generator. It's the same.
I don't see the T splitter shown in the video on your website. Is it not for sale?
Hi David, sorry about that. Please click here ----> tinyurl.com/2uwhz9u9
Very cool test thank you!
Thanks for watching our videos!

Do you ship Natural Gas & Gasoline Tri Fuel Conversion Kit worldwide?
Hi Gigi, yes we ship just about anywhere around the world. Just contact us at support@grenergy-us.com
well done
Thanks for watching!

Do the same “test” running the two generators on gasoline and lets see what the numbers say.....

@@GrenergyTriFuel Then why do many brands claim less watts on propane ?
