Petrol Generator FAQ
How long do petrol generators last?
Most petrol generators clock around 10,000 hours, or roughly 5 to 10 years of service. Your gennie is a true blue workhorse, but just like any gear, it's going to need a little TLC to get the most out of it. Regular maintenance is the key to keeping your generator ship shape, so stick to the manufacturer's guidelines for routine inspections, servicing, and repairs. And don't forget to change the spark plug and air filter about every 200 hours, or at least at the start of each season, to keep it running like a dream. At Tool Kit Depot, we've got the know-how to help your petrol powered generator go the distance.
How do I choose a petrol generator?
Choosing the right generator starts with deciding what you'll be using it for and how much power you need. If the plan is to use it for recreation activities like camping, caravanning or outdoor events, then you’ll be right with anything in the range from 1 – 6kVA. If you’re after a trade or back-up generator for higher power needs such as for black-out prone areas, then you’re going to want between 2.5 – 16 kVA—these ones are a bit bigger, heavier and louder, but have more grunt to keep your gear going, like the 15kVA Dunlite or Honda petrol generator. You’re also going to want to pay attention to features like noise levels, fuel efficiency, and brand rep. Your local Tool Kit Depot team will guide you to the best fit petrol generator for sale.
What can a petrol generator power?
A portable petrol generator is a versatile beast that can power everyday household stuff, like lights, fridges, and water pumps. Need to get the power tools cranking? From drills to saws, your gennie has got it covered. It's a champ with small appliances, but if you’ve got sensitive electronic gear that needs a bit more love, an inverter petrol generator might be the ticket. Whether you're after a small petrol generator, or a portable powerhouse, don't settle for less when it comes to your outdoor power needs. Head on down to Tool Kit Depot—where the petrol generators don’t miss a beat, the advice is top-notch, and the power is always in your hands.
