I have a ES-20 Onan that was originally set up for propane and I changed it over to run on Natural Gas, very easy change over. It just involved turning the regulator over and reinstalling the spring back in it. Factory propane engines are usually fitted with higher compression pistons and heads giving a higher compression ratio than the gas burners that are converted. My ES-20 Onan was factory set for LP and rated for the full Kw rating on propane. It produces about 85% of it's rated amount on Natural Gas and I don't have to scurry around to find gasoline when the power is off here and most likely at the gasoline station at the same time. I will gladly give up a little capacity for the convenience of not having to refuel in the rain or storm. With the reduced output I am just missing a little electricity, when the gasoline runs out you are missing all the electricity. Dry fuel engines run much cleaner and the oil doesn't soot up when it is set up correctly plus it never gets stale.

But, I want to talk about my tractor! We didn't even own a lawnmower, and all of a sudden we had enough grass to feed all the starving children of the bovine world. Naturally, I talked
