🧭 Why Dual-Fuel Matters
- Fuel flexibility — choose petrol for convenience or propane for long-term storage.
- Lower emissions on propane — cleaner burn, less carbon build-up.
- Extended runtime — switch fuels mid-use to keep working.
- Cost control — pick the most economical fuel for the job.

🧠 Tips for Choosing the Right Generator
- Total your running watts for everything you’ll use together.
- Identify the largest starting surge (motors/compressors) and leave headroom.
- Use correct sockets — 110V (yellow) for UK sites; 230V/32A for boards/large loads.
- Plan runtime — tank size + LPG bottle = hours between stops.
