When pluged into my diesel generator the unit works fine but when i change to my petrol generator using the same cable the multiplus unit swictchs to genrator for 1 sec then switches back multiplus and keeps tring to conect generator but fails every time. Yet works fine when connected to my diesel generater. The generator brand is Ducar made in china.

Yeh, generators aren't created equal. Even the better brands can suffer this too: https://www.victronenergy.com/live/multiplus_faq

You may need extra kit to fix it, or a handy Victron agent. If you have access to VEConfigure already, then follow the advice in the link.
