US Carb tri-fuel kit for Honda eu2000i
Like most people, I find it impossible to navigate US Carburetion's tortured Web site; nor can I get them to answer their phone. I would like to order a tri-fuel kit for the Honda. Has anyone recently...

I did a gasoline vs. propane load test on my tri-fuel eu2000i this morning. With a small load (400 watt oil filled heater) performance was the same. With a medium load (400 watt heater plus hair dryer on low, 1375 watts) performance was the same. With a heavy load differences appeared. Switching the hair dryer to high, on gasoline, the voltage was 114.7, watts 1890, and amps 16.2 (kill-a-watt readings). On propane, the initial performance was the same but after a couple of minutes it tapered off to a sustained 111.4 volts, 1755 watts, 15.65 amps. There are so many variables involved that all I'd conclude is that the maximum power output is degraded "a little bit" with propane. I wouldn't take this as a blanket statement, rather as a single data point, and it of course applies only to the eu2000i.
Working against the eu2000i today is that I'm at 3,500 feet. In its favor, it was a cool 60 degrees. I know from prior experience that if it was 90 the generator would not have powered the heavy load on gasoline. Just one of the many variables.
