Someone had posted a link of a dual fuel kit for generators to run both on gasoline and propane, I've lost the link. If the original poster remembers where it was please post it again.

I was under the impression that dual fuel generators were specifically made to run on one or more alternate fuels? I guess I would be suspect of some add on that might allow a generator to run on a fuel it wasn't originally designed to handle...sounds like a problem waiting to occur...likely when you need it least.

There are some things I will not abide within my sight!
Not the one that posted but found these if they help at all

The Dual Fuel Conversion Kit uses an adapter that makes it possible to operate low pressure propane, natural gas and gasoline.
To make your life easier, we put together these step-by-step instructions to convert your gas generator to propane.

Keep in mind: modifying your generator may void the manufacturer warranty. Modifications may also lead to harm if you don’t follow the kit instructions. Proceed at your own risk.

That's the one I was looking at, not sure if it's the same one or not. $199, looks like easy installation for my Generac GP6500. I'd like the option to run it on BBQ grill canisters especially, A hook up to the house tank is also nice, plus regular gasoline. The tri kit does it.Originally Posted by Full Otto
Ahhh here's the first one I heard about: https://motorsnorkel.com/
So you've got some type of project in mind?
Just curious
Here's one I have going on
It's a Generac whole house that runs from my LP
Put a deposit down in early Oct. just to get on the list to try and get one maybe in Dec
Got lucky and one came in so it got set
Then I got the gas line installed
I wanted a separate tank but my supplier said I'd have to buy my own if I could find one and it would probably be upwards of $4000.00
Wanting to get it done I went ahead figuring I could upgrade down the line if I need to
It's all waiting for the circuit switch which still must be sitting on a ship someplace or an L.A. rail yard
Can't be electricians fault he's gotten all this done with just a deposit so he probably would like it done and paid for too
Just glad the power stayed on during the blizzard we just had

I've converted to generators using the following kits and they work well. On my Honda generator, I put a petcock in the gasoline line to have a gasoline shutoff. The regulator that comes with the kit has an adjustment screw for using propane or NG. Basically the kit is a spacer between the carb and the air filter with a small hose/port that allows the alternative fuel to be introduced into the throat of the carb.
