Description
8kW on petrol or 7kW on propane, with three ways to start it. The Gorilla Power GP8300E-DF gives you big output and a choice of fuel: petrol for everyday use, or propane that stores long term for emergencies. It has a 25-litre tank, wireless remote start, and 240V and 110V outlets on the panel.
✔ Authorised UK reseller ✔ Free delivery to mainland UK ✔ Prices include VAT ✔ 3-year domestic warranty
Why buyers choose the GP8300E-DF
- Two fuels. Run on petrol, or switch to propane at around 1.15kg an hour, which gives about 16 hours from a 19kg bottle.
- High output. 8kW continuous on petrol, or 7kW on propane.
- Three ways to start. Wireless remote, electric start or recoil cord.
- Site and home sockets. One 240V 32A outlet and two 110V 32A outlets.
- Long running on petrol. 11 hours at 50% load, or around 15 hours at a quarter load, from the 25-litre tank.
- Protected as standard. AVR and a low-oil shut-off sensor.
Is it right for you?
Ideal for: home backup with a stored fuel option, construction sites, catering and outdoor events, as long as it can be sited well away from people.
Look elsewhere if: noise matters. At 78 dB(A) at 7m, this is one of the loudest generators we sell. The Senci SC6600iED is a much quieter dual fuel inverter at 64 dB(A), and our silent and canopied generators are worth a look too.
What will it run?
Plan around continuous output for the fuel you'll use: 8kW on petrol or 7kW on propane. A single 240V 32A socket can supply up to about 7.4kW, so that's the practical limit from one outlet.
| Appliance | Typical running watts |
|---|---|
| Fridge freezer (higher start-up draw) | 150 to 300W |
| Central heating pump and boiler electrics | 100 to 200W |
| Lighting for a whole property | 200 to 500W |
| Microwave (800W cooking power) | around 1,200W |
| Kettle | 2,500 to 3,000W |
| Catering equipment or heavy site tools | Check the rating plate |
| Electric shower | 8,500W and up: too much for this generator |
Example on propane: fridge freezer 200W + boiler electrics 150W + lights 300W + TV and broadband 200W + kettle 3,000W + microwave 1,200W comes to about 5,050W, which leaves around 1,950W in hand. Check the rating plates on your own appliances, as figures vary.
Using it for home backup
Never plug a generator into a house socket. To power household circuits, have a qualified electrician fit a manual changeover switch so that the generator and the mains can never be connected together. The remote starts the engine, but it isn't an automatic standby system.
Getting it running
- Buy a regulator for propane. The regulator hose adaptor is not supplied, so you'll need one to run on propane.
- Check that the remote fobs are in the box and test them next to the generator on delivery. One buyer's fobs were missing and needed a receiver change, so tell us straight away if yours don't work.
- Add 1.1 litres of the correct engine oil and check the level before the first start.
- At 95kg before fuel, use two people or a ramp for any lifting.
- Keep propane cylinders upright and away from the exhaust, and check connections for leaks with soapy water.
- The outlets are 32A industrial-style sockets. Use matching plugs, a 32A to 16A converter for most 110V tools, or a suitable splitter box for 13A appliances.
Delivery note: this model can have a longer lead time. If you need one by a certain date, please contact us before ordering and we'll confirm availability.

FAQs
Do I get less power on propane? Yes, by about 1kW. If propane will be your main fuel, size your loads on 7kW.
Is the propane regulator included? No, the regulator hose adaptor isn't supplied. Ask us which one to use before you order.
How much can I use on 110V? Dual-voltage generators usually give only part of their rated output on the lower voltage. Tell us which tools you plan to run and we'll check it for you.
Is it suitable for quiet areas? No. At 78 dB(A) at 7m, it should be kept well away from neighbours, audiences and customers.
Not sure it's the right size? Send us your appliance list at sales@generator-uk.co.uk or call 01744 520110, Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5pm, and we'll help you size it.
Safety: run outdoors only, well away from doors and windows. Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide. Let the engine cool before refuelling. Store and connect LPG cylinders following the supplier's instructions.
