Honda EU2000 propane conversion
Has anyone tried the Honda EU2000 propane conversion kit?

I like another poster used Honda gasoline engines converted to natural gas at work. We used casing head gas to run pump jacks in the oilfield.
They were a royal pain. Lots of failures. Problem assigned to engineer (me). Root cause, gasoline engine cooling assumes that you lose a lot of heat by evaporating the gasoline. Running at max horsepower without this additional cooling equals trashed engines.
If you do light duty they will last a long time. Running and pulling all the power they got, you will junk the engine on propane.
You need a propane engine designed from the start with propane in mind for heavy continuous duty.
