Propane and Natural Gas Tri-Fuel Adapter Installation Pictures
This page may take up to 1 minute to load depending on
internet speed.
Click on each of the pictures on the left to see the installation of
the adapter in-between the air filter assembly and the carburetor. The
process is similar for most engines. The engine shown is of the
foreign/metric design and uses stud extenders. All American/SAE type
carburetor adapter kits will include two new longer studs with the kit.
Instead of adding an extender, each stud is removed and a longer stud is
installed to add the 1-1/4" of additional length needed. Accessories
are included to extend the crank case vent tube and any additional holding bolts
as needed for each specific engine type.
Pre-installation
Before installing the adapter between the air filter and the carburetor.
Air Filter Removed
Remove air filter assembly exposing the two studs that hold the carburetor.
Stud Extenders Installed
Stud extenders are screwed on over the existing studs on metric type
carburetors. American type SAE carburetors will have new studs that will
extend the threads out to the same length as shown.
After Installation
The adapter is slipped over the studs and the air filter assembly is
reinstalled. The engine regulator is installed near the carburetor and on
some engines there will be additional accessories included in the kit like the
crank case extender tube shown above the carburetor.
Complete with cylinder
Complete installation shown with 20# propane cylinder. After the kit is
installed going from gasoline to propane or natural gas is as easy as turn off
the petcock on the gasoline tank and connecting a propane cylinder or using a
rubber hook-up hose and quick disconnect to connect the generator into the home
gas pipe system.
