I was able to read several reviews from those who own the Yamaha EF3000iSEB with the tri-fuel kit from US Carburetion. I also watched a few videos and read further reviews from others who have installed similar kits from Central Main Diesel. In short, these generators work as advertised using natural gas and propane. In these kits, the propane consumes about the same amount of fuel (gallon to gallon) as gasoline. Also, there is no lose in power as proven by real world data. And no, you can't compare these generators to gasoline car engines.
Based on my research, I felt very comfortable ordering the Yamaha EF3000iSEB tri-fuel kit from US Carburetion (a Yamaha dealer). It came with FREE shipping and Yamaha threw in an additional 1 year warranty for FREE (for a total of 4 years). I will run gasoline under moderate load for 3 hours (break-in period), then switch to propane for long-term use. After using the generator for a few months, I will post up a review and report my real-world data so others can make more informed decisions.
What are saying is simply impossible without magic.
The ONLY way to do it is to run the motor lean. They will produce more power that way.... For awhile.:E You might want to read the fine print on the Yamaha warranty.
