[QUOTE="John6185, post: 3462151, member: 25679"] After the latest ice storm in Oklahoma and power loss for 4 plus days, I ran my two generators on gasoline off and on keeping the freezer and refrigerator going to prevent the loss of food, I decide dot convert my generators to natural gas.(Tri-fuel). The will now run on gasoline, natural gas and LPG. No seasonal preparations or storage because on natural gas the carburetor won't develop that dreaded varnish from gas. I bought a couple of kits from a company and installed them and they are now ready for the next ice storm. However, I see on Youtube that one can convert their generator (there are several videos) without a kit and one guy even converted his generator without a kit or carburetor. Typically, they drill a hole in the plastic breather apparatus and insert a hose and feed natural gas through the hose and the engine pulls the gas in and fuels the engine. Some regulate the inflow with a standard gas valve such as one would have on the 1/2" line going o the hot water heater. Anyway, this subject has interested me and thought maybe others might be interested. Natural gas is more reasonable in cost than gasoline and doesn't spill all over your clothes and I feel if used prudently, is less dangerous-others may disagree but to each his own. [/QUOTE]
