FAQ

  • Is there a gas conversion / LPG generator available?

    Due to the dry combustion characteristics and the higher combustion temperature the possibility of premature wear to the valve seats and piston rings is dramatically increased. Therefore any combustion chamber related failure that is attributed to an LPG conversion will not be covered under warranty. Honda (UK) will not cover any costs or consequential costs that relate to a failure caused in any part by a gas conversion.

  • What type of Fuel should be used?

    Our generators and fuel and waste pumps run on unleaded petrol. The EX range are specifically designed for diesel use and have a D to highlight this in their model. Eg EX4D

  • What is inverter technology?

    Honda engineers have developed a revolutionary form of inverter technology. This process takes the raw power produced by the generator and passes it through a special microprocessor that provides ultra-clean power that boasts a sine wave equal to or better than the current from your household AC wall outlet. This means that for the first time, you can operate a computer or other sensitive equipment from a remote location without the fear of interrupted service or damage to the equipment.

    Honda's unique inverter technology also dramatically reduces the size and weight of the generator. This reduction is possible thanks to the fact that Honda EU-type generators have the alternator built into the engine itself, eliminating the need for a bulky (and heavy) independent alternator.

  • What is Eco-throttle™?

    Another feature exclusive to the EU models is Honda's EcoThrottle™ system. This system incorporates a load-dependent speed control-type governor that offers excellent fuel economy by automatically adjusting engine speed to the optimum level, given the usage load. This not only reduces fuel consumption and operating noise in the normal usage range, but it also keeps exhaust emissions to levels that clear even the strictest CARB (California Air Resources Board) and EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) emission standards.

  • Is it possible to operate two Honda generators side by side?

    This is possible by using parallel DC Outlet cables.

    They WILL ONLY work with the same product models Eg. 2 x EU10i, 2 x EU20i products.

    They WILL NOT work with 1 x EU10i and 1 x EU20i generator.

  • Which pump should I buy?

    For general de-watering needs, Honda's WB series pumps provide excellent discharge performance. Or if a very compact, lightweight and portable pump is required, Honda's WX series may be the best choice.

    Honda Trash Pumps will handle solids the size of the intake screen. The WT pumps are designed to move water, and lots of it. The WT series is capable of handling solids without clogging. A quick clean out port and easy maintenance features ensure long service life. Honda Trash Pumps are the ultimate choice for Contractors and Rental applications.
