Professional Generator Propane Conversion Kits – MDTECH Technical Solutions

Converting a gasoline-powered generator to run on propane is a high-value engineering upgrade that significantly enhances the reliability and fuel-versatility of your backup power system. Unlike gasoline, which has a shelf life of approximately six months and can gum up carburetors, propane remains chemically stable for years. For homeowners in Los Angeles and Orange County, a generator propane conversion kit provides a cleaner-burning, more dependable alternative for emergency power.

MDTECH Technical Services is the specialized authority for LP Propane Conversion and mechanical infrastructure support. We provide the technical expertise required to install, calibrate, and maintain multi-fuel systems, ensuring your generator is prepared for any operational contingency.

Technical Advantages of Propane Conversion

Upgrading to a propane or tri-fuel system (Gasoline, Propane, and Natural Gas) offers several engineering benefits that extend the life of your generator:

• Elimination of Fuel Degradation: Propane does not evaporate or leave varnish deposits in the fuel lines or carburetor. This ensures the generator starts instantly, even after months of inactivity.

• Extended Engine Longevity: Propane burns significantly cleaner than gasoline, reducing carbon buildup on valves and spark plugs. This results in fewer oil changes and a reduction in internal mechanical wear.

• Safer Long-Term Storage: Storing high volumes of gasoline is a fire hazard and requires stabilizers. Propane is stored in sealed, pressurized tanks, which are safer for residential environments and offer an indefinite shelf life.

• Clean Emission Profile: Propane combustion produces significantly lower levels of carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides compared to gasoline, making it a more environmentally responsible choice for residential areas.

Core Components of a Conversion Kit

A professional-grade generator propane conversion kit consists of several precision-engineered components designed to integrate with your existing engine:

1. Zero Governor (On-Demand Regulator)

This is the most critical safety component. It acts as a vacuum-sensing valve that only allows propane to flow when the engine is actively spinning and creating suction. If the engine stops, the fuel flow is immediately terminated.

2. Carburetor Adapter or Motor Snorkel

This device is installed between the air filter and the carburetor. It introduces the propane into the air stream without requiring permanent modifications to the factory gasoline carburetor, often allowing for “tri-fuel” capability.

3. High-Pressure Primary Regulator

This reduces the high pressure from the propane tank down to a manageable level for the on-demand regulator.

Professional Installation and Calibration by MDTECH

While “do-it-yourself” kits exist, the safe handling of pressurized gas and the precise tuning of the air-fuel mixture require professional oversight. MDTECH provides comprehensive conversion and maintenance services:

• Licensed Mechanical Expertise: As a C-20 licensed contractor, we understand the specific safety codes and technical requirements for LP conversions in California.

• Precision Fuel-Tuning: We utilize diagnostic tools to ensure the engine achieves its rated RPM and stable voltage output under full load. Improperly tuned propane systems can run lean, causing high internal temperatures and engine damage.

• Leak Detection and Pressure Testing: Every MDTECH installation includes a rigorous pressure test of all gas fittings and hoses using electronic combustible gas detectors.

• Tri-Fuel Versatility: We specialize in setups that allow you to switch between gasoline and propane at the turn of a valve, giving you ultimate flexibility during a fuel shortage.
