Converting to LP is fine and dandy if the engine manufacturer says it's okay to do so without making any engine changes. There are some manufacturers, (Kubota for instance), that clearly identify what fuel types are acceptable.
Here's such a decal:
They offer this same engine in a "gasoline only" version, (WG instead of DF), that's not equipped with a cylinder head designed to cope with dry fuels, and it's "gasoline only" suitability is noted on the decal.
However, any company selling aftermarket conversion kits isn't going to give a hoot whether or not the engine in question is really properly equipped to be run on LP....they'll sell you a kit anyway. You can look at several aftermarket kit websites and see LP conversion kits listed for the WG Kubotas, and you can look at Kubota's site and see that the WG engines are specifically listed as gasoline only.
There's no problem with using gasoline in a portable generator as long as it's stored properly.
