Final update. I accomplished my US Carb Trifuel modification to my generator using their new "Snorkel" Design. Very easy mod to install, no cutting frames, etc. (The design looks like a knockoff of the professor's cutting board design.)
In any event, generator operates great on liquid propane. I bought a $27.50 kit on amazon.com that allows be to connect two 20# propane bottles in parallel and thus extend the operating time and possibly avoid freeze up at low ambient temps and/or high demand. (My generator is rated at 7500 continuous Watts.)
I will be adding a Kill A Volt over protection device based on the info in this great thread.
Final question. There seems to be little doubt that if using gasoline as the generator fuel, that a wise thing to do is periodically (say monthly) run the generator for a while and then run it out of fuel before storing away until needed or until the next monthly test run.
Is there an argument to be made for test running a propane only fueled generator on a monthly basis? I have a trickle charger on the starter battery so I was thinking I might test run it once or twice a hurricane season and also a few days before a predicted storm arrival.
