Do they really have a liquid/gasoline carb, fuel line/sediment bowl so you can dump gas in and go? I thought the carb was all different. I can't imagine they wanted someone running that higher compression engine on gasoline.
 
On cars the ran the stock gas carburetor with an electric shut off on the gas line. Then they just fed the LP thru both carbs.(we had two systems on cars back in the day)
 
I had a 66 Pontiac with the 2 systems. 10.5 compression ratio. Worked good until I could no longer find Ethyl gas. So with regular gasoline, I had to pull off the vacuum advance hose to retard the timing.
 
They have a gas tank , sediment bowl and fuel line like the gas tractor. You have to switch fuels manually. We had several Allis Chalmers fork lifts on our dock with this set up. We used LP most the time and if we run out of LP we switched them to gas.I found a picture of the set up on a wd45.

The set up you are showing in the pic isn't a dual fuel. Dual Fuel would have a square bowl on the left side of the carb like what Ensign had on their gas carburators. That setup is strictly LP.
