No kidding. Glad I looked this up. Youll be glad to know your video is one of four that popped up when googling gasoline to propane conversion. Thanks.

I never would have thought that it would be that simple to get an engine running with propane. Thanks for the great video

Now take you some of that expanding foam insulation and the seal up the hole around the hose and the air filter housing and you’ve got yourself a semi permanent fixture there.👍

[mikelmarler]

Loved your video! I new there had to be a simple easy way to use propane when you can't get gasoline. After a hurricane you need to be able to survive.

[MartyChristianSoldier]

You explained that very well, very detailed, great job.

[tomkelly]

Brilliant! Wow that was so simple! I am amazed! Thanks for sharing, the safety tips are duely noted

[davidsteinfeld]

I have seen other videos of the same process but I can honestly say I like yours best
Any hoo in this world were everything is going to the greedy it's nice were a guy can find a few ways to save a few coins in his pocket propane is cheaper then gasalin per gallon and here in my town I can fill a 20gal tank for 10 bucks my generator holds 7gals do the math propane wins by a huge land slide yeah man now that's what we want to talk about
And much better for our environment to boot honestly when the big company catches up to speed they will make it much like they did with gas by jacking the prices we can be happy for now
Thank you for your presentation nicely done

Excellent video. I don't see myself paying so much for a kit. Have you ever done this on a Honda generator eu1000i. That's what I'm looking to do it on. Again thank you great video!!!!

[dalehuber]

Thanks for this vid but what about dust? You threw the filter away and now there isn't any air cleaning going on? Would have to be hard on the engine on an average windy day running so close to the ground....

[gregwood]

Do you need a 0 to 30 psi adjustable regulator or would a 0 to 20 work?

[randybeard]

As you Explained this will work fine but for safety sakes you do need a Load Demand Gas Regulator, if the engine should Fail in the Middle of the Night, the area would be Flooded with Propane which is very Explosive so I would order a Demand Reg. Kit for Safety Sakes-they are around $100.00 at some sites...

[rogerlarson]

this is good, thanks for sharing the knowledge.

[timthetoolman]

I ordered a similar regulator today on Amazon for less than 30.00. It has a gauge to help adjust the flow.

[william]

Looks like it worked just fine any port in a ⛈ storm ☔️

While its running, test the voltage with a multimeter under a load while adjusting the RPM's until the voltage is at 120 or a little above.
3, 600 RMP's is what my generator calls for to produce the correct voltage. A tachometer can be also be used if you know the recommended speed of your generator.
Good video.

I have tried this A LOT and I would suggest you all spend a little money on an LPG carboretor conversion. Yes, it will idle on propane, yes you can run inductive loads but once you start making it do any real work by powering resistive loads, your knackered! Unless you are prepared to nurse the fuel/air mix manually for the duration of it's operation you are knackered. I bought a cheap propane carb for £30 from china. Functions just as it does on petrol and shuts off the gas flow when you turn it off. I came back to an empty gas tank and flat batteries after I THOUGHT I had the mix down and it was recharging batteries. It conked out not long after I left for another job. Waste of gas and no power to show for it. Now, after installing the new carb it does everything properly. Trust me. I've played with this stuff A LOT!

[shaggyfromfl]

Hello again, I forgot to ask you. I noticed you did not even take the carburetor off correct?

[blbarkerbarker]

Don’t know what I’m doing wrong, but can’t get mine to start. Good video good detail, guess I’m going to have too get the kit.

[derjager]

what type of regulator was used? high or low pressure and how much PSI ???

[robertrickman]

I ran my mower on a Camp Cylinder for an entire season a few yrs ago.
