Westinghouse 12,500 Peak Watt Dual Fuel Portable Generator, Gas/Propane, Transfer Switch Ready, CO Sensor

The whole packaging and shipping was great, not a scratch nor issue whatsoever for it to arrive to the cabin. The best part of this is that it started with one pull since charging the battery to allow it to charge up. Then after the charge, the push button start was basically instant. The remote start is my favorite feature of all!!! Dual fuel too? OMG, best thing ever, imagine having a 1500 gallon propane tank topped off once a year? What I’ll do is refill my extra five gallon or 25 gallon tanks! I’m building a generator room with tons of louvers and roof vents for airflow. And the exhaust side will have aluminum around the whole wall to ensure no fires happen a lot of flame resistant sprays all throughout. Bottomline, best investment ever!

The generator with options of natural gas costs more than a dual or single fuel source. The natural gas connection from the gas meter to the generator works best if the distance is no more than 20 feet long. If the distance is more than 20 feet, the hose or line must be bigger than 1/2 inch (standard size) so it can provide adequate natural gas (cubic feet) per natural gas rating (you can find out by checking with your power generator manual for the natural gas rating). In my situation, the electrical panel and the gas meter are about 130 feet measure along the fence and across the back yard around the garage where the electrical panel is found. Because the distance is 130 feet, I would need 1 inch hose. The 1-inch hose works best but the cost of the 1-inch hose and quick connect adaptors to ½ inch is hard to find and it would be too expensive. So, I decided not to use natural gas. Other than that, the power generator works well running on gasoline and propane gas.
