Frequently asked questions
No, the DuroMax XP13000HXT generator cannot run on gas, propane, and natural gas simultaneously. You need to choose one fuel source at a time but can easily switch between them depending on your needs or availability of fuel.
Switching the fuel type on your DuroMax XP13000HXT is straightforward. The generator is equipped with a fuel selector dial that allows you to switch between gasoline, propane, and natural gas easily. Always make sure the generator is off before changing the fuel source.
The CO Alert feature on the DuroMax XP13000HXT is a carbon monoxide detection system designed to shut the generator off automatically if dangerous levels of CO are detected around the unit. This safety feature helps protect users from potentially toxic exposure to carbon monoxide, making it safer to use in various environments.
The runtime of the DuroMax XP13000HXT generator depends on the fuel type and load. On gasoline, it offers up to 8.5 hours of runtime at 50% load. With propane, the runtime can extend up to 6.5 hours at 50% load, and with natural gas, the duration varies based on supply pressure and volume. Always refer to the user manual for detailed runtime specifications and to ensure optimal performance.

So received the generator with all the equipment as advertised, 15’ 3/4” natural gas line with brass quick disconnects, propane line and reg with dis connect, a complete set of plugs for the 120v-20amp, 240v-30amp, 240v-50amp. I was really surprised. Put the parts together and found I was missing the feet so I emailed the customer service next day during working hours and they responded within 20 minutes. Asked me my gen model, then told me to register the generator for future if any issues arise. Bam theee days later I had the two feet. Now installed she started up right away, first on gasoline, then after 20 minutes or so I switched over to natural gas and no problem she started right up. Note to all turn off natural gas valve when you go back to gas. I’ve ran the generator for over two hours so far just breaking it in. I emailed customer service asking if there was any recommendations on maintenance. They responded within 15 minutes stating after break in change the oil then since it’s a backup generator for my house they recommended run it for 15 minutes every month and hookup up a battery maintainer, even sent a Amazon link in the email for a suggestion. Very nice, I responded already had hooked up the pigtail on the battery for my maintainer and bought a metal gen house for permanent storage and weather protection. Must say customer service was great, generator runs great so far. Think it will go along time for me. Must have been a Wednesday build because I have had no issues to date. CS Email during working hours seems to be the perfect time to communicate. Noise is semi loud but it’s a 500 cc motor, battery was fully charged when received. I tried to charge it once I opened the packages but after 7 minutes charger was sold green so it was at 80% already. Heavy but the handles and wheels makes it easy to move, I would say with the discount $1999.00 was a great value. Knob to switch fields is very stiff so will turn it every month when I run it just to work it in some. It’s a good bang for your buck today. Will give more feed back after 10 plus hours.

Style: 13,000-Watt Tri Fuel
Okay, you are clearly eyeing the HXT version of this generator to run natural gas…or at least have that option, right? Otherwise, you can spend significantly less and get the dual fuel version. If you are like me, you would like something that runs off natural gas, similar to a whole-house solution…but without spending the $15K of that whole-house solution. This unit offers a good compromise. It is not as powerful as a whole-house generator, and it requires a bit of effort to get it up and running each time you need it, but it is far less expensive. My goal was to run the smaller of my two AC units, the associated furnace fan, and most other appliances (e.g., refrigerators) when we next lose power in the Houston area for whatever reason. I was comparing this option against the considerably less expensive Champion 100416 tri-fuel generator, which also looks well-designed. The problem with the Champion unit for my purposes is that, while the wattage is good enough, it only has a 30-amp outlet, which is likely not enough to start even my smaller AC/furnace fan. This DuroMax has a 50-amp outlet which definitely will do the job. Also, the digital gauge is a nice-to-have feature that will prove useful in assessing the load. However, the challenge with a bigger generator is that you do need a natural gas line with a hefty volume of BTUs…the manual says it consumes 225,000 btus per hour at full load. Initially I had the thought to hook it up to my existing 1/2-inch natural gas line on the back patio, which was originally installed to support a grill. However, most grills only need 50,000-100,000 BTUs per hour, and that 1/2-inch line runs a long way from the meter (thus lowering the volume), so that connection seemed likely to be inadequate. Instead, I decided to install a connection off of a 3/4-inch line that supplies my pool heater. The pool heater requires 400,000 BTUs per hour, so I knew that that natural gas line would provide enough BTUs, and the existing regulator was the appropriate size, too (6.0 - 9.0 inch water column according to the manual, which you can find on the DuroMax website). Anyway, I mention the above because I am a very average DIYer, and I had to think through these considerations carefully. Other lessons learned… You are going to need about a quart of 10W-30 SAE motor oil. I don’t know exactly how much because I combined two partial bottles. The point is that it does not come with the oil, so order some if you do not already have it. I also would recommend a trickle charger in case you do not fire up the generator very often. Trickle chargers are cheap and will keep the battery in healthy condition. It helps to have your own tools when taking off the shipping brace, putting on the wheels, et cetera. For example, having a socket wrench made some steps easier. I felt like the supplied tools were a bit lacking. The biggest challenge I faced was that the natural gas hose came with what appeared to be a 3/4-inch to 1/2-inch reducer attached on one end, and goodness gracious was mine on there tightly! It is nice that it has that reducer for those who plan to screw it onto a 1/2-inch gas line, but I didn’t need it, so I had to take it off…which should have been quick and easy…but was not. It took my (admittedly inconsiderable) strength as a 48-year-old guy with a 24-inch pipe wrench and a 12-inch crescent wrench (a.k.a., adjustable wrench) to break it free. Once I had it hooked up to my natural gas supply and the switches in the right positions, I pushed the start button. While the battery did its bit, it failed to crank. It would automatically stop trying after a couple of seconds, then it would automatically retry after a few more seconds. It did this 4-5 times before it finally caught and began to run. Was this because it took a little time to fill the hose and “prime?” I am not sure. I just mention it in hopes offering comfort if your unit does not start on the first attempt either. That’s as far as I’ve gotten at the time of this writing because I still need to have the interlock kit and 50-amp receptacle outlet installed on the house. If I learn more that I deem valuable, I will provide an update. Hope this helps! ********* Update: I did get the interlock kit and 50-amp receptacle outlet installed, and I am happy to report that this setup did the job of running my smaller AC unit, two refrigerators, and all the small stuff in the house (lights, two computers, Internet modem/router, ceiling fans, et cetera). With all of that going, it showed 3 out of 5 bars...so approximately 60% load. Time will tell how well it holds up, but for now I remain pleased with this generator. Well done, DuroMax.

I am so excited about my Generator.. I bought the 13,000 tri fuel...I am old Widow lady and wanted some security when power is out.. need air conditioning and power for illness. I could not afford a Generac, so I got the Duromax ... with my electricians help, found what size I needed for my house and he installed it to my home and existing household gas. So easy to operate....2 switches, a valve, and turn on the transfer switches and I have whole house power.....I test it once a month to keep everything oiled and battery up. Don't you know, Power went out and needed it just 3 months into having it installed. and battery was dead. Called my electrician and he verified that. I called Duramax and before I could get my whole story out the man said another Battery would be here in 3 to 5 days... Such a pleasant guy...also I asked a few questions which he was sooooo helpful.... I thought when I first called that I might get a run-around or some excuses, and I would have to get a battery on my own and pay a high price BUT these guys were terrific ..... so far so good Battery is supposed to be delivered today. he told me how long to run it for the first run time... and that once a month firing it up and letting it run for 10-15 minutes was the best thing to keep it ready. (which I was doing) So Thankful I have a reliable, affordable power source for emergencies. Generac wanted almost $20,000. for a unit that would not power my whole house.... After buying the pieces I needed to install this to my home and the installation fees plus the generator I have a little over $3,000. invested and it will power my whole home...as a little old lady I can operate it with very little effort. If anything changes I will report on it....SO FAR SO GOOD.. DUROMAX CUSTOMER SERVICE IS THE BEST I HAVE EVER DELT WITH. By the way,.at the warehouse batteries can sit on the shelf for a while and when a generator is bought and battery installed ..they can go bad...just a fact of life...nothing against Duromax...that is just the way it is. verified by my electrician. .just glad it happened with a minor power outage in my area and I discovered it. Should be smooth sailing from now on....plus with the Tri Fuel if the house gas for some reason does go down.. I have it set up to switch over to LP and also have gas for back up. Love it!! it is a little noisy ( as expected), but inside barely notice it. will try to send photo soon.

Runs great. Started right up on propane. I did have pretty significant damage to box and some dents to generator housing, but this came just in time for an ice storm so i took my chances. I was glad that I did. Apparently this thing can take a real beating and still work (one of my engine shipping motor mount locking bolts was even broken - that is how hard this box was dropped) but it STILL started right up and ran like a champ. One star taken off for handling, but the generator is a tank!

I bought this unit after being notified that the northeast may experience brown outs this winter. I chose this unit due to its ability to run on propane. I ordered my first unit with a delivery date of a week. The trucking company (RXO) notified me that they had dropped the unit and for me to order another unit. When I went to order another one my unit wasn't available so I ended up ordering a high end model. After another week the trucking company notified me of a delivery time. They said they'd call 30 minutes before delivery . They blew through two scheduled times and without a phone call brought a 16 foot box truck up my driveway. If they had called I would have met them at the street with my tractor. They delivered the generator and on the way out ran over my lawn, ran over a sand bin and snapped off 3 driveway markers. I put a claim in and the claim was referred to an outfit in Powai, Mumbai which has not returned any of my emails. Anyway, the generator is really impressive, it starts easy. It was easy to set up and is easy to operate. I'll never really get to see how it performs until I have a need for it. Update it is 2 months after my delivery. My RXO Trucking claim for delivery property damage appears to be in the dead letter file. Claims report seems to be a scam.

I have been very pleased with the DuroMax Tri-Fuel generator so far. I have only tested it using propane and natural gas and both sources work great. Once connected it takes a minute for the propane/gas to get into the system before it will auto-start, so maybe wait a minute after connecting everything before pushing the start button. I ended up installing a transfer switch (the safest option) and larger natural gas line in my home so I can take full advantage of the tri-fuel capabilities (natural gas, propane, and gasoline). In the case of a power outage I won't run everything in the house, so I'm only utilizing the 30Amp outlet. The video I posted is from the first time we had an actual electrical outage in my neighborhood and it serves as a general "how-to" tutorial. I give the generator a test every spring and fall to ensure everything remains in working order. So, aside from the running noise and heavy weight (~260 lbs), it is an excellent unit! NOTE: Please don't just hook the generator directly into an available slot in your fuse box as any back-feed can harm a lineman working in the area. I highly recommend working with a licensed electrician to have the transfer switch installed as this is the only safe way of connecting a generator directly to your home. The transfer switch prevents any form of back-feeding into the utility lines, and in the event of an outage gives you a direct and simple method of powering critical functions of your home. When utility power is restored, the transfer switch returns the load from the emergency power source to the normal one.
