Frequently Asked Questions
How much power loss will I loss by converting
my generator to an alternative fuel?
** 3-5% power loss because our custom kits are
built around the generator, we have only seen about
a 3-5% loss of power.
Can I still run my generator on gasoline after
converting my generator to an alternative fuel?
** YES, You can simply do this by switching off your
alternative fuel source and run the engine until it
stops to ensure all of your alternative fuel is out of
the fuel lines and then turn on your gasoline fuel
source.
How many BTU’s of natural gas per hour will
my natural gas generator use?
** To calculate this take your Horsepower
x 2543.44 = BTU’s per hour used on your engine.
If I purchase your kit will I be able to run
propane, natural gas & gasoline?
** This used to be the case because there was only
one regulator offered but because of many varying
natural gas pressures across the United States the
pressure of 4 ounces is being found more often.
With that being said you will not be able to run
propane with a 4 oz regulator. With that being said
that is the reason we only offer Propane kits or
Natural gas kits.
How can I figure out the pressure coming out
of my meter?
** There are 2 ways to do that. (1) Your gas
company will be able to tell you in ounces.
(Ex: 6 oz or 4 oz) (2) A plumber will be able to
tell you in water column. (Ex: 7 inches or 11
inches of water column).
People have asked us what makes our hose
different from what is being sold on the
internet?
** The only thing I can tell you is we offer only the
best, with over 35 years of experience we have
determined that this is the best quality hose when
dealing with a gasisty fuel when dealing with
combustible engines not a poolheater or furnace.
Our hose is designed around engines.
Can I connect my generator to a ½” pipe?
** Yes you can. (Only if your generator is 5000
watts or below). Anything more will cause a lack of
natural gas volume to run your generator properly.
**Just a note, every elbow installed will
reduce 3% of natural gas fuel volume**
When I run my generator on natural gas if I
hold the primer button in my generator will
run if I let it go it stalls what causes this?
** It could be a combination if issues, first of all
make sure the pressure of the outlet of your
natural gas is correct and rated for the regulator
we sent and just remember that every elbow
causes restriction and that ½” pipe will NOT work
for any generator above 5000 watts.
Why does my order still show processing?
** That means that your kit is being built and when
it’s done, we will email you the paid invoice with
the tracking number.
If I install your kit will it void my warranty on
my generator?
** When you install any aftermarket to anything,
you always risk the chance of voiding the warranty.
Should I continue to have my PM’s the same
on my generator with an alternative fuel as I
do gasoline?
** YES, Continue as the manufacture warranty
recommends that way you always have a good
record.

What stops gas from flowing if generator
stalls?
*** It takes a engine vacuum to open the regulator
so when the engine vacuum stops the engine stops
fuel flow.
Can I use a flex line to run my generator on
Natural Gas?
** NO, Because even if it is a ¾” or 1” flex line the
flare swivel fitting on the flex line it reduces the I.D.
(size) which reduces the Natural gas volume to
your generator.
6 Ounces is equivalent to 11 inches of water column
4 Ounces is equivalent to 7 inches of water column
If I cancel my order before it’s shipped why
would I still be charged a restocking fee.
Because when you place an order online. Our
merchant service company takes there percent
for the transaction. Also when we return your
money they also take a percent. Plus My
employee has to be paid to do this. this is the
reason you will still be charged a
restocking fee of 25%.
