I converted one to tri-fuel today. If you take off the high pressure regulator you could run off natural gas but don't intend to do that.

I used this kit

Took me about 2-3 hours... the beer probably slowed me down. (beer)(beer)

We lose power a few times a year and then usually a short outage. I hate having to drain the gas out. This should help save me that task and also eliminate the need to rollover fuel every few months.

Here is video after the first time I started up. Mixture isn't adjust yet so idle is a little erratic.

Kit comes with a fuel valve so if you want to run on gasoline just pop off the cover and turn on gas line. Easy system to take off in the future if needed as well.

That's pretty cool. How many hours run time do you get off a typical 20 lb. Tank?
 
I haven't run one fully out yet but usage from from this other conversion vendor states the following:

Consumption at 1/2 load 0.101 gallons/hour
Consumption at 3/4 load 0.206 gallons/hour
Consumption at full load load 0.297 gallons/hour
