Instructions For Generator Propane Conversion

By Nita McKinney


Generator propane conversion brings along many advantages. First, you will be sure of no carbon deposits on plugs and engines. This is because propane gas is pure and cleaner. Second, it is easily accessible. Propane gas is easy to store as opposed to other gases. Third, propane gas is very clean hence safe for home use. Forklifts that are powered by this gas have even been recommended for home use because they are safe. With that said, the next section will explain how you can convert your home generator on your own to propane.

Remove the cover of the air cleaner and the assembly nuts. You will need a socket wrench for this. Remove the assembly from the generator. Detach the gasket and twirl the stud extenders that come with the kit on the carburetor studs.

The stud holes can then be enlarged with a punch. The existing holes need to be bigger so that the new stud extenders are able to fit properly. The gasket has now been sufficiently modified, and it can be re-attached.

The adapter and the hose should be connected to the adapter. By holding the hose tip, you have to wind it to the side of the adapter until it is rightly inserted. A clamp should hold the tip of the hose. Lastly, you have to slide the adapter quickly over to the newly installed extenders. Make sure that it is inflexibly placed against the carburetor overhang.

Slide over the gasket from the initial kit over the extenders of the stud and also on the adapter. Cover it carefully again with the air cleaner. Be sure to assemble it back again like it was before the disassembly. While holding the reducing, turn it lightly and load the block on the fuel controller outlet of the port.

The other end of the outlet hose now needs a small hose clamp. Slide it into position, and then attach the hose to the load block and reducer's hose barb. Make sure the clamp is well fastened. You can use a screwdriver in order to ensure that it is tightly fitted.

At this point, you will need to ensure that the high pressure hose connector is well fixed into the port that directs into the fuel controller. So, you will carefully turn the high pressure hose connector. Then, you will need to fix the fuel controller on the casing of the device that generates power. The next move is to turn on the generator. You can do this by pushing the manual primer on the fuel controller.

Once the device that generates energy is running, then you will twist the load block adjustment screw and watch to see that the engine is running well. You may use a screwdriver. You can ensure the screw adjustment remains in the same position by simply tightening the load block lock nut.

On the market today there are a number of high quality generator propane conversion kits that help to safeguard your home. For example, they will turn off the gas when the engine stops, so there is no dangerous accumulation that occurs. A generator using this sort of gas is likely to last much longer, and is more cost efficient to run and maintain.
