    We had a massive power failure across the city. Every gas station for miles around could not power the pumps. Almost every corner store has a propane exchange program, very handy. This alone made me buy a dual fuel.

    I changed from a gas generator to duel fuel because my gas system was annoying to maintain. Gasoline needs fuel saver and when not in use for a prolonged period of time it needs to be drained. Even then, more often than not it was difficult to start after sitting in my garage for an entire season. I bought this Champion and with propane it starts immediately. If you have the $$$ you can buy two tanks and swap out the empty one to get a refill when needed while the other one is still working. One small note about the video, it requires about 12oz of fresh oil per change (to the cap thread mark)

      Yeah, mine too. But for the price and that we rarely have to use them is acceptable to me. Thanks for watching and commenting!

      Really the less back pressure the better fuel mileage and easier on engine
      When I’m using it, then the noise is my least concern for sure

  • @Stepuptothat
    @Stepuptothat 5 місяців тому +3

    Is it true you should break a new duel fuel with gas first for like 20-30 hrs before using the propane just for proper seating of rings and valves !? Just trying to learn the rite way. Thanks

    • @CycleFab
      @CycleFab  5 місяців тому +2

      That is not true. My generator is still starting and running just fine with either gas or propane. And yes, I do use propane sometimes. It's less messy, no chance of spillage. You'll really like having a generator when the time comes you actually need one.

    And I’ve been told to use the fuel that is being circulated the most cause it cleaner not necessarily being the highest octane

    • @CycleFab
      @CycleFab  Рік тому

      I just recently found out that if you have the availability of non-ethanol gas, even though it's somewhat lower in octane, it is a far cry better than the higher octane 10% ethanol gas. Thanks for watching and commenting.

  • @kustomair942

    Is this the generator that says its 74 decibels on the box? Cause this one sounds louder?

    • @CycleFab
      @CycleFab  3 місяці тому

      No, this is the one that says 68 decibels. Judging how something sounds in real life to the audio track of a UA-cam video can be misleading. I did not measure the noise level of my generator so I don't know what db level it acctually runs at. But, it's not loud to the point we really even notice it running, hope this helps.

    how many hours run time will I get on a single propane tank?

    • @projectswithjw
      @projectswithjw 6 місяців тому

      A 20 lb tank will have about 3.5 gallons if you get from an exchange place. If you get a tank filled, they can push 4 to 4.5 gallons into it. I fill mine at TSC as its a better value. My 7000 watt generator will take about .75 - 1 gallon per hour so a tank might make it about 4 hours. Smaller generators probably last longer.

  • @1brotha2anutha92

    Why use high octane fuel? The higher the octane the harder to start, high octane is to prevent knock and pre ignition

    • @CycleFab
      @CycleFab  Рік тому +2

      Several small engine technicians have told me that using high octane gas is better so that's why I run it. Thanks for watching and commenting.

      No, I don't. You would need to contact the manufacturer about that. Thanks for watching and commenting!

    • @ghostyty3071
      @ghostyty3071 Рік тому +1

      That's a different generator, Dual Fuel generator Runs on Gasoline or Propane Fuel Tri Fuel Generator Runs on Gasoline, Propane Fuel or Natural Gas. It's always one or the other. They do sell a generator conversion kits to run on Natural Gas or just buy a generator that has all three.... Hope that answer your questions
