"Wow! I knew I would lose a little, but not that much. Why so much? "
I searched a little and as pianotuna mentioned losses of 20 % when going to propane. I converted a 3500/4000 champion to propane so I had enough capacity to run a 13,500.
It had a remote start feature so it was convenient and I didn't have to mess with carrying gas cans. The problem is that it used a fair amount of fuel and it's a lot more hassle to fill propane tanks then it is to stop at any gas station and get gasoline. I would never convert my Honda 3000
Anyway even if you lost 10% your running watts would probably be around 2000 watts or 16 amps. It may work, just try it.
