Great videos you made about dual fuel generators. Would be great to see how you maintain them and how they hold up.
I got a 3400 watt dual fuel generator about ten years ago. Ran it only on propane. I powered the furnace, one air handler, fridge, chest freezer. the power supply for the stairlift, Fios box(phone and internet), and a few LED lights. I mostly got it for new england winters, so no AC. Standard BBQ propane tank would run the thing for about 12 hours with that load. After the break in oil change, the oil was clean as a whistle after four years, when I changed it just because.
The only prblem I had was the starter battery would go dead while it was in storage. I considered getting one of those battery maintainer devices to keep it charged in storage, but since it would start up after a couple of pulls on the rope, decided not to bother. I did have one time when it wouldn't start. but that was caused by a rag that was wet and frozen that happened to be hanging in front of the air intake and choked it out.
Mine wasn't an inverter, so my computer didn't like the quality of the power, but the laptop and cell phones charged up fine. I bought a new 20 pound propane tank annually until I had six tanks on hand, so three days of power. Watch out for those tank swap companies like Blue Rhino. they only fill their tanks to around 17 lbs, not the full 20 pounds of propane, so you won't get as much runtime per tank.
Thanks for the review. Grabbed one yesterday for 20% off. Sale is still good today, 7/7/24 if anyone has need/interest.
Very informative video, Outdoor Prepper. It's good to know the cost of all the gear we'll need, not just the generator itself.
A bit small, so “like an OJ glove” I would say.
@@landongooding7461 haha! Thanks for watching and well said!
Excellent video, thank you! Can you list here the items you purchased/used to make this work?
