The Champion Power Equipment CPG7500E2-DF Dual Fuel, Petrol or LPG, portable generator is powered by a Euro 5 439cc Champion single cylinder, 4-stroke OHV engine that produces 6000 running watts & 7000 max watts on petrol and 5500 max watts & 5000 running watts on LPG.

With a 23 litre fuel tank this unit can run up to 8 hours at 50% load running off petrol or running off propane 19hrs based on 19kg bottle (0.79kg/hr). Our OHV engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off sensor and designed for long life and easy maintenance. This unit is ideal for RV's, camping trips, hunting, travelling, jobs around the house, or home back-up power during emergencies.

Patented volt guard system installed to protect spikes and surges on appliances & equipment also included patented Cold Start technology.

The benefits of LPG:

The biggest attraction of LPG is the lower running costs (bottled gas is about 30% - 50% cheaper to run currently than petrol, the larger the cylinder the cheaper the gas becomes). As fuel becomes more expensive this becomes an even more attractive offer.
You have greater flexibility with regards to extending the running time, just use a bigger cylinder if you need a longer running time; you are no longer limited by the internal fuel tank.
Cleaner emissions allows for use in situations where petrol is not appropriate such as around food or on those sites that do not allow petrol for fire risk precautions.
There are also no petrol storage problems, eg. Smells.
Minimal risk of fuel spillage, as the fuel is not “loose”/fluid, also there is less chance of the fuel source being stolen.
Lower maintenance costs due to the cleaner running; petrol decays over time and can block the carburettor or hinder its operation.
LPG does not have this problem as the LPG is sealed there is no chance of degradation. This leads to extended life of the spark plug and generator components.
A lot easier to refuel just connect up a new bottle. With more and more councils and campsites banning the use of petrol and diesel we feel that the demand of LPG Generators will only increase in the future.
Please note that the majority of the competitions Dual Fuel models in the UK tend to be “retrofits” which invalidate the Manufacturer’s Warranty! Whilst Champion lead the way with their dual fuel patented technology & their machines are Factory fitted & therefore the 3 years Manufacturer’s Warranty is fully supported.

I've had the 10KW version of this generator in the past and recently bought the 7KW unit to charge up my solar batteries when they get low. First of all I have to say that as a general use emergency generator this unit is great value for money and a reliable unit. Now for the nitty gritty as to why this only gets 4 stars and not 5. It must be noted that my solar power system is a 10 kw system with 76KW/H of storage, so the 7kw unit is undersized for the application. I had some difficulty with my system accepting the power from this generator. When I checked the Volts and frequency they were 250V and 52Hz. A quick search on the internet at Champions website provided the instructions to adjust both the voltage and frequency down to 230V 50Hz. At that point my inverter/Charger accepted the voltage and switch over to Utility power. The AVR in this generator seems a bit slow, as soon as the inverter charge started to take load from the generator the voltage dipped to 200v and then the inverter switched back to battery mode. I finally manage to get the system working properly by loading down the generator to about 1kw, that seemed to stabilise the power enough that the inverter could connect and start charging the batteries. Once connected and charging and the system was stable I could turn off the heater and leave the system running. In short, if you want a generator to use in an off grid solar application as I do, this is probably not the unit for you. However, if you just want it to run tools, appliances etc then it's a great little unit, I just wish they sold the 10KW version here in the UK.
