Has anyone here retrofitted a gas generator to run on propane?

I would feel more comfortable with 2 or 3 30lb propane tanks sitting in the garage instead of cans of gasoline. No issues with gasoline going bad either.

Gas is great with a small amount of Marvel mystery oil. shut the valve when through run engine until it quits. I have a 5 kw that was purchased for Ivan. Last month before the storm opened the valve put some fresh gas in it and it started second pull.

Get the propane kit. Get a large bottle that stays outside. You can do multiple drops off it for cooking too if need be. Can't do that on gasoline. Propane stores and keeps better and safer than gasoline.
All our stand by gensets at work are on natural gas. They range from 3406B (320Kw) Cat down to a couple of big Kohlers (200Kw). We have the 11Kw models in the field.
