About Propane Generators

Propane and propane generators are more convenient to store than natural gas, but homes and businesses often use both. Conversely, gasoline does not have a long shelf life, and has been present in cases of engine failure.

Throughout natural disasters such as tornadoes, hurricanes and earthquakes, gasoline is difficult to find, and it appears that propane is more obtainable as a natural gas to run lights for the rescue teams.

Gasoline will gum up the carburetor and so the engine on the emergency generator may not function. On the other hand natural gas and propane will save time and money for the do-it-yourselfer; your engine will run better in cold weather conditions and last longer.

There are kits available to change a gasoline generator into natural gas or propane.
