Every time I pull my Honda eu2000i out the carb seems to be fubared from shitty fuel. Next time I pull the carb off to clean it I'd like to install a dual fuel kit. Looking for a good kit to purchase. You guys have any input?
Honda eu2000i propane conversion kits. Who's running em?

A few of the hot dog and halal vendors in NYC run them..They seem to like them compared to the additives you gotta run in todays fuel..

Even with the fuel valve, the carb needs to be drained prior to storage.
A fuel valve does make it easier to winterize, as you dont really have to drain the fuel tank. Just toss some stabil in it, top the tank off, and cap it.

Im currently in the market for a tr-fuel kit. Seems to be the ideal setup for me.
Run on natural gas at home for power backup
Run on propane for the camper
And run on gas when I dont have NG or LP close.
Biggest problem I see is that it voids any and all Honda warantys. No real biggy though, as these little EU2ks are so damn dependable.

If I let My fiberglass buggy sit for more than a couple of days, the fuel turns to jelly. Weber are picky carbs in the best of times, and Kali gas kills them. I can leave Pemex in it for 6 months and it will fire right up :mad3:

thats what I do on my EU3000is honda. If I wont be using it for a while I let it run out. The 3000 has a metal gas tank and the 2000 I bet has a plastic tank. I am a firm believer in plastic tanks reacting with fuel causes trouble. I see it in atvs every day.
I just converted my eu2000i to propane. I was tired of cleaning out the carb every six months because of it gumming up.
I purchased the kit from Generator Conversion Kits to Propane and Natural Gas.. With shipping it was $200. Motor-snorkel kit, tri fuel.
The hardest part of installation was mounting the vacuum regulator to the generator side. Careful marking and drilling made for a great installation.
I've used it for about 8 hours since the conversion. Works great.

How does the price of fuel consumption between the LP vs. Gasoline compare?
Typically propane is about the same per BTU as gasoline.
Nat gas is so much cheaper but currently hard to find. It's available in both liquid and compressed gas depending on where you are at. Cleaner, cheaper, readily available as a fuel, just not quite to the main stage on distribution.
Clean energy has both liquid and CNG stations nation wide.
