Honda EU2000i generator

Seems that a natural gas and LP conversion kit is available for this Honda model. As of yet, there is no tri-fuel option.

Ohh... thanks for that one, Gerald. True they don't have one for our little EU1000i for the boat, but they *do* have a kit for our whole-house genset, a Honda EB11000, and I've really wanted one for some time. Superb!

The yamaha 1000 will run my 5050 btu air condition and will run 24 hrs on 10 lb propane. This is looking good except the cost ,but something I can live with. With a aluminum 10 lb. propane you good for 3 nights sleeping at $7-8. beats Petro and lower sound levels.

How about a propane powered outboard? I've seen reference to the idea but never a real product. Maybe I'm thinking too green.

Its hard to carry propane in qty to have enough fuel range - its a gas at room temp and pressure, of course, so you have to keep it in a heavy pressurised container for use. There is another problem - as you take propane from a tank, the Joule-Thompson effect cools it and the tank eventually freezes up, if you are pulling enough gas to run a motor.

Indeed, Steph. Our scout troop uses the larger propane cylinders for much of the cooking on camp-outs and in winter you can scrape rather large chunks of ice off them when they're in use!

Sounds like an interesting way to cool the cabin.
