| Summary | The Ford FG18KVTWTCO is a 14,500-watt tri-fuel generator built on a 713cc Ducar V-Twin engine. It runs on gasoline, propane, or natural gas, letting users switch fuels based on availability and storage constraints. The 18,000-watt starting capacity handles motor inrush loads for air compressors, welders, and heavy construction equipment. This is a stationary workhorse for whole-house backup and jobsite power, not a grab-and-go unit. | The Genmax GM15000ET is a 13,000-watt tri-fuel generator built for serious power demands. With 13,000 running watts and 15,000 starting watts, this unit can handle whole-house backup scenarios, including central air conditioning, refrigerators, well pumps, and multiple circuits running simultaneously. Because it runs on gasoline, propane, or natural gas, owners gain real flexibility during emergencies when one fuel source might be unavailable or during extended outages when tapping into a home natural gas line eliminates refueling trips entirely. |
