There are so many reasons why one would opt to have a propane generator over a gas generator, but one of the best reasons among them all is that propane is cleaner than gas. It is so safe that it makes it okay to burn it indoors without a risk to your health. Propane gas will therefore leave no carbon deposits in your engine. You also get the added benefit of being able to start your generator immediately on idle instead of throttle as it does not have to begin by changing the liquid gas into a gas. Propane is also much easier and safer to store than gas.
Below are the steps for converting your gas generator into a propane generator.
1. Open the air cleaner cover and remove the air cleaning unit. You will need a wrench to do this.
2. You will then have to remove the original gasket and put it aside for a while. Push the stud extenders into the carburetor studs. You will have to increase the size of the existing stud holes in the original gasket so that they are able to accommodate the stud extenders.
3. Put back the modified gasket in place and join the hose plus its connector to the adapter.
4. Bend the hose barb a bit into the side hole of the adapter and use a hose clamp on the free end of the vapor gas hose. Make sure that this clamp is tightly securing the hose to the barb.
5. Take the adapter and place it on top of the carburetor flange. Next, take the gasket and place it on top of the adapter.
6. Put back the air cleaner assembly and screw its cover back on as it was.
7. Move the reduce hose onto the outlet of the fuel controller and push the free end of the outlet hose onto the reducer’s hose barb.
8. Push the high pressure hose onto the fuel controller’s inlet port.
9. Switch on the engine with the manual primer on the fuel controller held down and you are good to go.

What are the benefits of a propane generator versus a gas powered generator?
In a stationary installation a propane generator can be quickly set up to run as a backup power source. You can have an electrician wire it to automatically come on with a power failure and it'll run so long it has a propane supply. Of course in a mobile application natural gas is far less readily available and carrying fuel can be awkward. A gas powered generator usually needs to be refueled by the consumer, which can lead to dangerous accidental spillage. Empty propane tanks can easily be exchanged for full ones at a local dealer, making the process safer and simpler. Propane will not release as many toxic fumes as a gasoline generator would. Longer shelf life and more cost effective hardware are other examples of propane's superiority to gasoline.
