Sorry to display such ignorance but...

Can it run off petrol too?

JJ

 

[Gaston aires]

Only if you convert it back I guess. I have never used it on petrol.

I have seen one in the Netherlands with the same LPG system.
The man could choose petrol or LPG.
I cant see this being for sale long.
Bargain price.

 

[dpsuk999]

Yes yo

Sorry to display such ignorance but...

JJ

Yes. I have the EU10 which is LPG converted and I can run it off LPG or petrol, can switch between either one.

I too understood them to be able to run off LPG or petrol.

Agreed Mel, ie, bargain price for someone.

Cheers,

Jock.

If you can switch between the two I am very tempted but... rather expensive for me to collect...

I believe some conversions will run of either fuel, not at the same time though. You should always ensure the petrol is fully used up before using LPG. But some are restricted to just LPG. You would need to check with the company who did the conversion.

The converters name is probably on the regulator. I've already got an EU10 which is converted to LPG otherwise I would have bought this. Excellent quiet generator.

Cheers Al.

Indeed, thank you Mel. I would like to know if it runs off both LPG and petrol and whether you would be willing to send it, as I would not be able to collect? Thanks

I doubt they'll find anyone willing to courier it due to it having had fuel in (gas or petrol) as they won't usually touch them unless they're new.

You could see if any funsters are able to collect it for you and pass it on to another who is coming to see you at your little bit of heaven.

Where abouts do you live ? I am going to the Norfolk show on 20th July. My wife will be in Notts 13/15th July, and we will be in Kent 1st to 5th July.Your avatar says you live in Hampshire and we will be in the Shoreham area 6/7th July. Does this help ?

[faraway]

Hi Can you confirm whether it will run on both LPG and petrol please?

 

[Gaston aires]

At the moment it runs on LPG but will run on petrol if converted back.

Thanks. Sadly, I think I'm going to have to pass on this one.

 

[Gaston aires]

I think the thread should answer any questions from other interested parties but I will start selling on ebay from Sat 1st.
Phil

 

[two]

I think it depends on the conversion as to whether it will run on petrol or not but why carry another (more expensive, smelly) fuel around if you don’t need it.

I just plugged it into the gas outlet on the last van and hey presto "silent power"

Hi Phil.

The gas system is through a converter that turns the 'liquid gas' into a gas for the carburettor to use . Most of these are dual fuel and the reason is because of potential running out. It allows for the user to switch over manually (if fitted) to the other fuel. Some are set up automatically to change over. Depends on the conversion?
I would believe that if it was purchased as a converted gas system only, there is and would be a sticker indicating so. Thus preventing use of petrol. Personally..It's worth every penny and even more with the gas kit fitted! Research before selling on eBay at £500!
When I was a "lad" many moons ago, I was converting petrol fork lift trucks to gas so I can assure you that it should work easily on both.
Gas was also the only option especially with the boating fraternity's certificate of compliance test that has to be carried out 3 yearly. Petrol could not be accepted on board so gas conversions were the way forward on a lot of generators...especially Honda's

As in previous posts the only problem you MAY encounter when switching backwards and forwards between petrol and LPG is the unburnt fuel in the carburettor but this is simple to overcome which I did.

The on/off switch on the Honda generator is dual purpose in that it's a fuel cut off valve as well as an electrical cut off. I simply installed an additional switch and ran the electrical wiring from the existing on/off switch to the new one as in the picture below.

So when I'm running on petrol I turn the existing switch which is now solely a fuel cut off valve to '1' and switch the new switch to 'on' and start it. When I want to stop it I simply turn the fuel cut off valve to '0' but leave the new switch to 'on' and let the generator burn the fuel in the carburettor off so it's empty. This takes approx 20 seconds to die then turn the new switch to '0'.

When running from LPG I leave the fuel cut off valve in the '0' position and new switch to 'on' and connect to LPG and it starts first time.

@NickNic is this any good for you?

Thanks but not something I would usually consider buying second hand

From the looks of the sticker on the regulator it is an Edge Technology conversion. According to their website their conversions are dual fuel.

I have just made contact with the original supplier, Edge technology of Crewe who did the conversion.
They said if you put petrol in it, it will run on petrol. If you then want to run it on LPG again, you just empty out all the petrol and hey presto it runs on gas again.

I just made contact with Edge and they say it runs on both fuels, just put petrol in it.
Thanks for your input.

No need to empty petrol out if you do what I did in my earlier post.

No problem, I'm glad it's sold as I was too tempted to buy it for myself.

 

[Gazza333]

Sounds like a bargain to me. Saw it earlier and thought shall I shan't I. Typically now wish I had and sold my eu10i on
