Petrol Generators

Never Let the Lights Go Out Again

Power cuts are more than an inconvenience – they can halt a home renovation, spoil a weekend barbecue, or leave you shivering in the dark on a rainy night. At Radmore & Tucker we understand that reliable electricity is as essential as a good cup of tea. Our range of Petrol Generators puts the power back in your hands, whether you’re keeping the lights on during a grid failure, running tools on a construction site, or adding a splash of comfort to a remote camping adventure.

Why choose petrol? It’s lightweight, readily available and, thanks to modern engineering, delivers smooth, instant start‑up even in the chilliest mornings. From compact 1 kVA units that slip into the boot of your car to robust 10 kVA machines capable of powering a small workshop, we have the perfect size for every need.

Browse our selection, compare specifications and discover why thousands of British households and businesses trust Radmore & Tucker for uninterrupted power.

The Smart Way to Choose Your Generator

When you’ve endured a blackout that lasted days, the value of a dependable generator becomes crystal clear. Selecting the right petrol generator isn’t just about buying a machine – it’s about investing in peace of mind.

1. Calculate Your Wattage Needs

• Essential appliances: fridge (150 W), lights (60 W per bulb), phone chargers (10 W each).
• Power tools: circular saw (1 200 W), electric mower (800 W), pressure washer (2 000 W).

Add a safety margin of around 20‑30% to accommodate start‑up surges. Our product pages display the exact wattage, and our downloadable Power Calculator helps you tally up your total load in seconds.

2. Size & Portability

A 1 kVA generator might fit neatly under a kitchen bench, while a 10 kVA unit will need a sturdy wheelbase and a tow bar for easy transport to job sites or holiday campsites. Consider where you’ll store it – indoor models feature sound‑insulated housings and low‑emission exhausts suitable for garage use.

3. Fuel Efficiency & Economy Mode

Petrol is generally cheaper than diesel, and modern Radmore & Tucker generators boast economy modes that automatically throttle down when the load drops, extending run‑time by up to 30%.

4. Multi‑Fuel Flexibility

If you like options, look for our bi‑fuel or tri‑fuel models – they can switch between petrol, LPG and even a small diesel blend, giving you the freedom to use whichever fuel is most convenient or cost‑effective at the time.

Regular care ensures your generator lives up to its promise:

1. Run‑In Period: For the first 5 hours, operate at half load to seat internal components.
2. Fuel Management: Use fresh unleaded petrol with a minimum octane rating of 95. Add a fuel stabiliser if you store it for longer than a month.
3. Air Filter Checks: Inspect every 50 hours; clean or replace as needed to maintain optimal airflow.
4. Oil Changes: Change engine oil after the first 20 hours, then every 100 hours thereafter. Use the grade specified in the manual.
