Kit Center Production News:
Our fastest moving kits are for the generators using the
new Briggs and Stratton Engines. Use the "New Briggs" link above if you
own a Briggs and Stratton Generator. For engines used on all other generators

Generator
Conversion Kits to
Propane and Natural Gas.
You
can count on gasoline . . . to let you down!
Gasoline is not a fuel
that professionals ever choose to use on backup generators. Hospitals and
other large facilities "never" install a gasoline back-up generator. They
always use natural gas or diesel. Gasoline has a very limited shelf life
and will actually cause engine failure. Worst of all when power outages
occur due to ice storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes and all other disasters, the first
commodity to be hoarded is gasoline. Sadly, long lines (even fistfights) and rationing
at gas pumps are a common
occurrence during many disasters. The hurricanes that hit Florida
last year were sad proof of that. However, working along with FEMA, we
were called upon to be of assistance in helping in areas where gasoline was not
even available to run generators. Propane, and especially natural gas,
were more plentiful and just the ticket to keep the lights on and the crews
working.
Unfortunately, as some
have learned the hard way, if not used often enough, gasoline will gum up the
carburetor and will render an engine on the emergency generator useless.
Do not get caught with a gummed up carburetor that will not allow your engine to
run, on your gasoline generator that you cannot even get fuel for, when you need
it the most.
Now that you have invested in a backup generator, make sure
that it
runs when you need it the most. Modify your Generator to run on propane or
natural gas or even keep the gasoline option if you like and have the option to
run all three fuels on the same engine!
Propane
and natural gas can save you time, money and aggravation.
Our do-it-yourself change over kits
allow you to run your gasoline generator on propane (LP Gas), natural gas, or all three.
Propane and natural gas are truly a backup fuel for a backup generator. Your engine will last longer, start
better in cold weather and even start next year when you go to use it in an
emergency. The best part is, with one of our do-it-yourself kits you can
change your engine from gasoline to propane or natural gas all by yourself.
Why use propane to power your
generator?
If you have propane available you
know you can store propane for years because it does not gum up, go bad, or pollute the
air like gasoline does. You can use the 100# (24 gallon) cylinders, little bar-b-q grill type
20# cylinders, which is equivalent to 5 gallons of gasoline,
or big tanks like 250, 500 and 1000 gallon ASME tanks.
Why use natural gas to power your generator?
If you have Natural gas available you
would certainly agree that it is probably the most
dependable fuel on earth and virtually an unlimited supply. Natural gas is
always there. It does not gum up or go stale like gasoline.
