Onan P9500df EFI
Conventional portable generator, gasoline / lp. Ships to your door — no installation, no permit, no electrician.
9,500W Gasoline / LP Dual fuel $175.00 shipping
This is a conventional generator built for output per dollar rather than for silence. It is the right tool when the load is motors, pumps and heaters rather than sensitive electronics.
Running gasoline / lp is the practical advantage here. Gasoline degrades in months and is the reason most stored generators will not start. Propane does not degrade at all, so a unit kept on LP is far more likely to fire on the first pull after sitting through a mild year.
Ship weight is 212 lb. Portables cover essentials during an outage: refrigeration, lights, well and sump pumps, phones and networking. They do not run central air conditioning, which in a Texas summer is usually the load that actually matters — if that is your concern, a permanently installed standby unit is the honest answer.

The P9500df EFI is sold by UTS ElectricPros, an authorized Cummins dealer in Dallas–Fort Worth. Buying through an authorized dealer is what keeps the manufacturer warranty valid — equipment bought from an unauthorized reseller frequently is not covered, and owners tend to find that out at the worst possible moment.

Questions about the P9500df EFI
How much is the Cummins Onan P9500df EFI?
$1,700.00, plus $175.00 shipping. There is no installation, no permit and no electrician involved with a portable, so $1,875.00 is the whole cost.
What will the P9500df EFI run?
It is rated at roughly 9,500 starting watts. In practical terms that covers a refrigerator, a well pump, lights, networking gear and a window or portable AC unit, and with a proper interlock it can back-feed a handful of essential circuits. A portable will not run central air conditioning; that is what a standby unit is for.
Can the P9500df EFI run on propane?
Yes. This is a dual-fuel unit running on gasoline / lp. Propane is the practical choice for a generator that sits most of the year: it does not go stale, it does not gum a carburetor, and a 20 lb tank is easy to store and rotate. Gasoline gives slightly higher output when you need it.
Can I use the P9500df EFI to back-feed my house?
Only through a properly installed transfer switch or an interlock kit. Plugging a generator into a wall outlet - a suicide cord - back-feeds the utility line and can kill a lineman working to restore your power. It is also illegal. If you want the generator to power house circuits, we install a manual transfer switch, and if you are doing that anyway it is worth asking whether a standby unit is the better buy.

What it is for
Power you can carry to where it is needed
You need electricity somewhere there is none, or somewhere it has just stopped. Camping and tailgating, a jobsite before the service is energised, running tools at a property with no supply, or covering the refrigerator, the lights and a pump through a short outage at home.
Why it becomes urgent
No installation, no permit and no electrician — you buy it, it ships, and it works the day it arrives.
Who buys it
Campers, tailgaters, tradespeople, and homeowners who want a fallback without a five-figure installation.
Before you buy the P9500df EFI
The questions that decide whether this is the right machine, answered properly rather than in a sentence on a product page.
- Natural gas or propane?Fuel decides runtime, refueling and what the gas side of the install costs.
- What fuel should I be running?Gasoline, propane and diesel each change runtime and storage.
- Would a permanent standby suit me better?A portable is manual and refueled by hand. Standby starts itself.
