I just bought a propane conversion kit from "Hutch Mountain" for my
EU2000i:

I haven't installed it yet, but I am looking forward being freed from
the curse of long-term gasoline storage and gummed up carburetors.
BTW, how big is the inverter you are using, Jim?

Hi George,
Thanks for the info on the generators. MY EU2000 just sits and the
gas goes bad, despite the additives. The EU22i looks really nice,
except it's a Euro model (230V 50 Hz) but fuel injected. The US
version (120V 60 Hz) is still carbureted. If it had EFI I'd buy one.
Wes,
My neighbor Glen, W6GJB, did propane conversions on my EU2200I and his
EU2000i. We both love being able to run on propane. Supplying a load
of about 1kW, I get about 24 hours on a can. That load is a bank of
48V LiFePO4 batteries that feed an inverter that powers our home
during power failures. The concept of using batteries to buffer the
gen came from George's work over the years on island expeditions.
There's a guy up the coast (in OR, I think) who sells the conversion
kits.
