Champion on propane

The Champion inverter generator I looked at has a very simple, yet effective interlock. When the selector switch is moved to gasoline, a cam blocks the port going to the propane inlet.

Sorry, my mistake. The gas I was referring to is the propane. Bad choice of nouns.

Is that the reason they don't make a remote start/stop available for the dual fuel models?

Otherwise, you'd have folks forgetting to turn off the gas before they removed the male connector from the generator, and releasing a ton of propane before they could get the valve shut. Safety thing.

Thanks all!

Confirmed. You stop the generator when it is running with LP gas by turning off the valve on the propane cylinder.

Moved from technology

Shutting off the propane to stop was the way they were demoing it at Quartzsite...
