Yea supposedly with a tri kit or a type c it has the conversion for propane . My generator is mounted where it blows directly out of my garage window and all I use it for is power outage . From what I see propane is equal to gasoline . A 5 gallon propane equal to 5 gallon gas. With the natural gas I don't have to worry bout a gas station and its cheaper. I think I'm gunna go ahead order a kit and see. It would be nice not to have to worry bout fuel after a storm. I have romex running from generator up into attic to closet with outlet and down through kitchen cabinets wit outlets for fridge and such and ac closet. You would never know they there if you weren't told. No extension cords all over.

Mine isn't a conversion but its hooked up to my natural gas line. About 5-6 years old and no problems so far. Run it for a few minutes every month or so and then it's ready to go if/when we have a power outage.

As long as South Coast Gas is pumping natural gas I'm in business. Mine runs off of natural gas. I can run it off of propane but I need a low pressure regulator.
