Saw the post below about being prepared for bad weather with a generator, and it brought up a couple questions. I live in town and I don't expect to use my generator very often, but with severe storms in the spring and ice in the winter, I have one on hand. It has a little 13 HP Honda engine. My question is in regards to having fuel on hand. I usually keep a 5 gallon can full and just dump it in my truck about once a month and refill it. 5 gallons isn't going to last all that long in a major power outage (in which the gas station would probably be without power as well), but having a bunch of fuel sitting around to keep fresh seems like quite a hassle. I found some propane and natural gas conversion kits for Honda engines. I was thinking propane would be easy to store and after the initial investment in some extra tanks, wouldn't cost a whole bunch to run. Has anyone ever converted a little engine like this to run on propane? Do they work well? Are they reliable? Does it hurt the engine?
