Nikola Tesla may have had it right when he came up with the idea of wireless electrical power transmission. While we are very thankful for the power lines they can be severely handicapped during the event of a hurricane, tornado, or severe storm. (or... Zombie Apocalypse)
What is your plan when the power goes out?
Once the power is out we tend to remember the things we are used to having and at times can forget to be thankful for. (There’s so much to be thankful for – electricity seems like a small thing these days)
· Lighting
· Heat/Air conditioning
· Hot water
· Communication: Internet, telephone, radio & television
· Charging batteries
· Flushing the toilet (if you have a well)
· Taking a shower
· Cooking
But, you are prepared! You invested in a backup generator, just in case of such an emergency. So you just need to get that gasoline powered generator out of the shed and put it to work powering your home. Or at least the essential things, like the refrigerator or freezer full of food.
Once you have worn yourself out from pulling the cord on your portable generator for a half an hour, you may begin to wonder why you decided not to get the propane powered generator! You see, propane does not have the problems that gasoline has, like going stale, varnishing carburetors and with ethanol in gasoline these days, propane also shines in the fact that it does not eat up the seals in your carburetor and gum up your fuel system. A propane powered engine starts up right away, no matter how long it's been sitting in the shed!
I bet you’re breathing a little easier knowing that about propane. You’ll also breathe easier because there is much less harmful emissions from a propane powered engine.
Did you ever go to the gas station after the power went out only to find out that the gas pumps RUN ON ELECTRICITY? I called a propane company and the guy there said that even when the gasoline stations can’t pump gas, that a propane delivery truck can deliver all the fuel you need – to your home or even at the corner market or the grocery store parking lot if you live in a remote area.
With that half hour of time you spent trying to get the generator started you could have easily converted your existing 4 cycle gasoline powered generator to run on clean economical propane using our easy to install PROPANE ENGINE CONVERSION KITS.
It can be done in a few easy steps using some simple to install parts.
The basic parts to convert your generator are:
The regulator system - ready to install.
You can attach this to the frame on your generator using the clamps that are part of this unit.
This engine adapter plate w/ fuel orifice attaches behind the carburetor. (Using two bolts and some sealant)
The fuel supply line delivers the propane to your engine and goes between the regulator system & the adapter plate and fuel orifice.
The cylinder attachment line gets the fuel from your propane tank to the regulator system.
Once you have your parts installed you can use your engine with either propane or gasoline, so you have a dual fuel engine if you want.
Feel free to call if you need any help.
You could also send us an e-mail with the engine specifications and the generator you want to convert. We’ll reply with the the information you need.
Now and again, everyone experiences a power outage. We’re pleased to offer an easy and economical solution to making sure you have the power available to you, when you need it most.
