The Excel Power XL8000DFV is a tough, open-framed dual-fuel generator designed for users who want the flexibility of running on either petrol or LPG. With up to 7.8 kW maximum output on petrol and 7.2 kW on LPG, it is ideal for powering tools, site equipment, catering trailers and backup loads where a reliable 230 V supply is essential.
A heavy-duty tubular powder-coated frame, 459 cc single-cylinder engine, 25 L fuel tank and AVR-controlled alternator make this a practical choice for both trade and serious domestic use. Electric push-button start with recoil backup keeps starting simple, while dual-fuel operation gives you more options when petrol is expensive or limited.

Typical Uses
- Powering 230 V tools and lighting on building, renovation and maintenance sites.
- Backup power for homes, workshops, mobile catering and small businesses.
- Leisure and events – outdoor stalls, small stages, lighting and sound systems.
- Situations where fuel flexibility (petrol or LPG) is important for cost or availability.
Why choose dual-fuel?
- Flexibility: run on petrol when you need maximum power, or switch to LPG where cylinders are easier or cheaper to obtain.
- Cleaner exhaust: LPG typically produces less soot and odour, useful for food vans and public-facing setups.
- Storage benefits: LPG cylinders store better long-term than petrol in cans, reducing stale fuel issues.
