The chances of having mains electricity in my garage is remote so I have a small (2.4kW) petrol generator in there to run the lights etc.

I'm getting a bit sick of pouring unleaded in it (thus paying lots of road duty for miles I don't drive!), so hoped there was a way to run it on propane...

Has anyone done this?

Thanks smile

The manufacturer of the engine might well do an LPG conversion kit for the engine. You'll have more luck searching for a kit for the actual engine than for the whole generator.
