    Also, another reason it’s great like you were saying, but sometimes during an emergency situation, you can scrounge up some propane tanks sometimes easier than gas depending on the time of year. Thanks for the great information. Keep it coming.

    Good stuff. I got tired of having to clean my generator carb so I switched my old Generac over to a tri-fuel set up. I also have a small dual fuel inverter gen for my bus that hasn't seen a drop of gas in it.

    • @johnnysweekends

    @NoZenith Před 6 měsíci +1

    So in the case of the ecoflow smart generator, does the dual fuel unit have this same propane bypass that the gasoline only version wouldn't have? I recall you were recommending the gas stand alone with a homemade put together upgrade for dual fuel / tri-fuel over buying the dedicated dual fuel generator and I'm curious about that for the future since I already got the dual fuel version

    • @johnnysweekends
      @johnnysweekends  Před 6 měsíci +1

      The gas only version of the SG was the unit you want for a Tri fuel kit. Verses the dual fuel has an onboard load regulator which makes it much harder to to run NG.

    At 1:18 point you say propane/natural gas generators have a 10-15% lower lifetime, why is that? With cleaner oil etc I would have thought the opposite to be true?

    • @tristanschaper281
      @tristanschaper281 Před 6 měsíci +2

      I was wondering the same thing. Johnny, you state all of the benefits of propane being cleaner burning causing less issues with the engine itself, but you state that engines running propane wont last as long? How so? All research I've done over the years, speaks to the opposite. Propane-powered forklifts are a good example of this, as the propane-engines tend to last much longer.

      ​@@tristanschaper281I didn't know this about propane Fork trucks but it's very interesting and I'm curious as well. Adding a comment here cuz I figured if we build on this one instead of adding our own similar question it might get answered haha

    • @johnnysweekends
      @johnnysweekends  Před 6 měsíci +3

      In short propane generators typically have a higher compression ratio which needs tighter clearances. But a designated propane only generator can normally last almost as long.
      But with dual fuel they probably build the engine to run primarily on gas, do not use hardened valves which is needed for propane generators and because of less btu or energy per gallon the engine may need to spin faster for the same load that gas is using. So if also turning more rpm over hundreds or thousands of hours that adds up to more wear and tear till something essentially fails. Normally the valves or loss of compression from valves or piston rings.

    Propane doesn’t last very long. It’s a great option for a cook top though. Very grateful for my PTO generator and my diesel tractor. Plus with a 75 gallon transfer tank on my Cummins, it can run a long time. Hard to beat for hurricane preparedness here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

      Propane actually lasts (ie. stores) longer than all other generator fuels? (Did you mean typical tank size-like a bbq tank? People with generacs, for example, have 500-10,000l tanks.)

      @@GulfSoftwash so then are you referring to the relatively small bbq tanks? Tanks come in any size you need, so I’m still not following what the issue is that you are pointing to.

      @GulfSoftwash Před měsícem

      @@GMC-qo9xi 10 gallons of diesel will run longer than 10 gallons of propane. Diesel is easier to refill than propane. Only way a natural gas generator makes more sense than diesel for a backup solution is if a home has a natural gas hook up and can run indefinitely.
      Living on the gulf coast in the middle of hurricane alley, being without power means longer periods of time without it. Propane is cool for a day or two, but for extended periods of time, I’m taking diesel.

      Honestly depends on size. Not all champion units are made by the same manufacturer that I know of.
      Same with other brands except GenMax and DuroMax I believe they make all of there’s.
      The champion 4500 and wen 3800/4500 have been excellent units from most user reviews and feed back
      The Honda 2200 still seems like a great unit for those that want to spend more and have something quiet but gas only
      The champion 2500 seems to do very well.
      The Maxpeedingrods 3500 has been getting really popular and the pulsar dual fuel 4000 which has the same engine but an awesome price.
      Honestly that pulsar is doing really well.
      It all depends on the size. The predator had its day but there are better options now.
