- I converted my Honda EU2200i generator to use propane. I used the Hutch Mountain Generator Propane Conversion Kit. This DIY conversion kit makes it super easy to convert your Honda gas generator so that it can use propane. What I love about it is that after doing the conversion, the generator can use either gas or propane. So you are not limited in your options. The great thing about updating your generator to use propane is that you can store and bunch of 20lb propane tanks and you don't have to worry about the propane going bad like you do with gasoline. I highly recommend this propane conversion kit. Check it out in the link below:

I'm getting one of these soon. I may make it propane right off the bat. You sold me on not having to stabilize and rotate gas. In FL we might need it once ever y 1 or 2 years. Propane seems like a no-brainer.
Pretty sweet! Have been seriously looking into converting one of my Honda EU2200's over to propane..
I keep plenty of treated (and rotated) fuel on hand, but with the world being what it is today, having a back-up for your Plan B" is always a good thing..
Already have more propane tanks than the average bear, so this option will work..
Appreciate you Brother!
Please advise people that by switching to propane you no longer have a 2200 watt generator. Propane has about 10% less BTU over gasoline so the engine cannot produce the same power. It’s just good to know.
Nice job, you make it look very easy probably take me hours, I’m glad you explained why you did it and you have a good point, petrol or gas does go bad and it is pain, you can get additives to keep the petrol from spoiling, I don’t think they’re worth it they are way too expensive, thank you very interesting 👍
Really clear instructions. Thanks for the close up photos. Very helpful.
Great video buddy. Very helpful walktrhu
Hey thank you. Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful man appreciate it!
Turn off the propane at the tank is the recommended way to shut the generator off... Propane will continue to enter without doing this...
That's what I was wondering most use a vacume pulse from the intake to open and close the regulator valve I don't see a vacuum hose on these
Best yet
So, are there any differences in the set up for this kit and generators that already come duel fuel? I just cant believe Honda hasn't just made this the standard setup if its that easy and there are no other changes that they would have to make.
Well done !
Pulsar Generator has propane / gas ..sells at $400 Amazon..2000 watts on propane..
I suppose the instructions advise to drain or run the carburetor dry before turning on the propane feed?
Great video!! Would this kit also work off a natural gas line?
Yes,from my understanding but there are additional steps you need to take.
How long does that propane tank last??
What is that large disc on the pressure regulator?
Did you loose any power or wattage going from gasoline to propane ?
will this kit work on a AIVOLT 1200W, :)
The nylon spacer go behind the sleeve washer? Why take it out?
The new kits have you take it out... I missed this step (because I watched a bunch of old videos... and without removing the original the bolt is not long enough to reach the threads... (I spent 20 minutes trying to get it to start thresding)... Yed, do like this guy did... 😎
If the engine stalls/fails for some reason the propane will just keep running and leak out through the air filter. It cant be completely ruled out and the consequences might be catastrophic. This scenario should be mentioned and considered as you will build up a serious EX atmosphere in any kind of confined space. Like for example the people who install it in a caravan without EX-proof electical appliance in there. Also it needs to be considered that LPG is heavier than air and will accumulate in lower areas cellars etc. when ventilation is insufficient in such a scenario. Any comment on that?
I imagine a leak out of propane from a generator running in a well ventilated area (outdoors) should have minimal impacts. It should mix in with the atmosphere in fairly short order. It would only be an issue if you were running the generator somewhere you shouldn’t in the first place.
what prevents the propane from leaking with engine off and tank on
Yes, it is recommended to shut the propane tank valve off and let it run out when shutting the generator off...
I believe the nylon spacer goes behind the air box.
Seems... nothing. When the engine stalls you will build up an EX atmospthere if nobody notices and shuts the gas valve.
Can you store away the generator with oil inside the gen?
Yes, there is no need to drain to the oil when the generator is in storage. It is one less thing that you need to worry about when it comes time to use the generator
Is there no need to drain the carburetor bowl of fuel before starting the propane?
Yes you need to run the generator with the carb bowl empty and the gasoline peacock turned off.
Why doesn't Honda make a kit ?
Anyone use this, if so:
I know propane is more efficient, but how long will a 20# tank last @ rated load (1800W 15A)?
The site shows gas (0.95 gal) lasting 3.2 hours, and when I put the engine specs and shit into chatgpt it says the same
But then for propane (because I don't know what the usage rate, etc. are) it says 846 hours, which is 35 days.
I know that number isn't right, but I'd like to know if anyone has done this and if so, what runtimes are you getting?
On a standard 20 lb. BBQ Tank a full load will run for approx.. 12 HRs, Half load for approx.. 22 hrs., and a quarter load for approx.. 33 hrs.
Installed this converted kits will terminate Honda 3 years warranty ?
I don’t know for sure but you know it will…..
@@vaughnharris6404 , I am very happy after installed this kit. Thanks.
Does this modification void the three year honda warranty??
Of course it does you've modified it from factory spec. I'd remove the kit if you had any warranty issues before you brought it into a shop.
A Honda Dealer said they cover Manufacturers Defects Only! All the Gasoline problems, stale gasoline, clogged carberator, stuck needle and seat, gasoline soaked spark plug, ethanol gasoline, over full oil - gasoline in the oil and more gasoline problems! Honda Warranty Does Not Cover All These Gasoline Problems! They will fix it but Not Under Warranty. You will pay for this out of pocket!! All these gasoline problems are (All Prevented) by using Vapor fuels like propane or natural gas!!! Propane fuel is cheaper and cheaper from all the gasoline repair shop expensive and slow repairs!!! That's alot of time and money added up! Propane or Natural Gas Doesn't Blow Up Like (I Once Too) and Everyone Thinks! I've been using propane for years. Gasoline is more volatile and hurts people bad. But we all got to practice safety, common sense and Never Any Drinking or Drugs or Any Type At All Including Mind Altering Pharma Drugs Too! Doing this can hurt or kill someone!
Why not just get a propane generator.?
Because you already have this? And it’s small, quiet. Popular for boondocking.
I did years ago I bought 2 New cheap Chinese inverter generators. They both broke one stopped making power and the other one the engine locked up. They would cost more money to fix than both the generators were worth. These cheap generators are made to break. Now I have Tri fuel Hondas Inverter Portable Generators running on propane only! And I sell them on Facebook!
This Hutch kit has to be a joke....imagine trusting a piece of 3D-printed plastic bolted onto your engine to safely deliver its fuel 🤣 3:58
