Honda EU2000 propane conversion
Has anyone tried the Honda EU2000 propane conversion kit?
Forum Discussion
- Not sure what "kit" you mean... US Carb, or?
(I prefer Maine Diesel - send 'em your carb, returned "converted" with regulator, and necessary parts).
Converted my Yam 2400is to tri-fuel - with no intent to ever run it again on gasoline.
Works great for me - nat gas at home, propane (in needed) "on the road".
No problems *ever* with contaminated or "old" gasoline, no need for Seafoam or StaBil.
BTW - you might take your question to the Tech Forum (or ask the mod to move it) - as *everything* generator is there.

Although probably not as efficient, propane burns cleaner and you don't have to be concerned with having to buy "good" gas (non-reforumalted) for it and there's treating gas with Seafoam or Stabile to insure it will start later.
Dan- I converted mine and installed it in the generator compartment of the Riverstone. Since I already had the generator and just need enough power to run the residential refrigerator and our CPAP machines while spending the night at a rest area or truck stop, I opted to convert the Honda and placing it in the already installed generator box. I piped it into the existing gas line and installed an exhaust/cooling air hood I bought off of Ebay and vented it to the outside with aluminum flex piping and cut fresh air intake ports in the bottom of the compartment. So far it has worked great for us.
- How long does a set of Honda 2000 generators run on 20 pounds of propane?
- 20 lbs of propane is about 4.7 gallons. Propane contains about 20 percent less energy by volume than gasoline.
- Interesting topic, I didn't even know you could do the conversion but see huge benefits in doing so.. Propane for fuel in 5th wheel, why carry/store gasoline? (diesel truck).

~ - IMHO propane is the most trouble/hassle to fill of all the fuels we use: for some reason I have no problem with taking a 5 gallon plastic gasoline can to be filled, but I feel like doing the same with a propane tank is being a real PITA. Stopping at a gas pump and squirting a few gallons into a can without having to go inside and find an employee to fire up the propane dispenser seems a whole lot simpler.....
