Propane generators

How would I attach a 20lbs grill propane tank to a 12kw guardian generator for a test run?
model number 4456-3
Make certain that you have attached a low pressure regulator to the tank first! A gas grill regulator may not allow enough gas flow to properly check operation. Call your local propane supplier to assist you with this. Your warranty will not cover damage due to inproper installation.

Can LPG portable generators run on NG also?
Can portable generators rated to run on LPG (propane) also run on NG (natural gas) as well, without altering the generator?
jon144au, I know that is the case with older generators.
yes, but you have to change the orifice size... you may be able to find a conversion kit online

Time for you growers to move to another part of California and let
the Humboldt economy go to shit!
Another option is to unite and march on the government offices and demand your
human rights!
Another option is to rebel and start showing up at the drug law enforcers homes
and do what they do to you!
I suggest uniting with peaceful protest, bribes, and paid lobbyist in the government.
I bet the drug law enforcers go to church every Sunday, but miss the real
meaning of Christ and his life on earth. If they would read Matthew 5:44 and practice
what Jesus tells them to do then peace would reign in the county. BUT they have no idea
of Christ and are just full of fear. Oh well hell needs people too I suppose.
What is up with all the diesel generators? You guys do know propane generators are quiet
and produce very little pollution. When you change the oil do the right thing.

You might try China or India. They still use steam engines, although how you'd get a commercial unit past customs and get permission to run one I don't know. The only thing you've got going for you is that you're not planning on doing it for commercial purposes. Maybe you can get a small polluter permit. The thing is external combustion solid fuel boilers are much more difficult to regulate the emissions from.
I think I would be annoyed though if I couldn't get over 20% efficiency out of a steam engine/ generator set. But then, I have experience.
Also, you want a flash steam boiler, not an old railroad style drum boiler. For your own safety.
