| Summary | The Generac GP8000E is an 8,000-watt gasoline generator built for homeowners and contractors needing whole-house backup power or serious job site output. With 10,000 starting watts, it can handle the initial surge of air conditioners, well pumps, and power tools while running smaller loads continuously. The 7.9-gallon fuel tank delivers 15 hours at 25% load, meaning users can power essential devices through an entire night without refueling. | The Pulsar PG13000TRCO is a 13,000-watt Tri-Fuel portable generator designed to provide reliable power for homes, job sites, or RVs. It features a 500cc, 17HP OHV engine capable of running on gasoline, propane, or natural gas, offering flexibility in fuel choice. The generator includes electric and remote start options, a rugged steel frame with never-flat wheels, and safety features like carbon monoxide detection and low oil shutdown. |
