Since the Champion 5,000-Watt Inverter Generators w/ Parallel Kit # CH39FR runs exclusively off of gasoline, so there is no need for a propane tank!

These generators actually just require a minimum of 87 octane regular gasoline with a maximum of 10% of ethanol to run.

If you're wanting to use a generator that is compatible with both propane and gasoline, then the:

- Champion 9,000-Watt Dual Fuel Inverter Generators w/ Parallel Kit # CH49FR sounds like what you're looking for.

These generators will work up to 14 hours on gasoline, or up to 21 hours with a 20lb propane tank.
