If you are mechanically inclined yes. It's not too hard to convert but some additional tools might need to be bought.. making the conversion expensive (if you want to be safe). Leak Detectors, fitting, hoses (additional than kit). lots of trial and error your first time and drilling holes in plastic and making it look good takes some experience. worth it though...as propane and NG is stable and storage is way easier. if anything take your time. think and don't rush it. it will turn out well. warranty voided of course...

though the 200 or so more for the dual fuel model might save a lot of headaches. and you get a warranty with a small engine (which has value). what is 200 now anyways...one trip to the store?

obviously you can decide. I have done both. pros to both... but voiding a warranty can be a huge cost.
Per Champions own Specs, it is a 4gal tank.

I have the Tractor Supply version of this model, it's a cost effective way to get clean power through the open inverter design and keep more sensitive electronics running in a power outage.

Happy dealhunting.

I wondered that myself. If it's a 4 gal gas tank, this is an amazing price. This can run most houses in a power outage, even with a window unit (not central ac of course)

It has to be 4 gals, I have two different generators of similar capacity with 4 gal tanks. I can't imagine this getting more than 12 hrs run time with 2.3 gals

I've seen info online about converting gasoline generators to NG. Has anyone attempted such a conversion with the retail kits that are available? Is it safe?

Then I wouldn't trust buying it… you will probably end up getting what you didn't want.

This is a good deal. Large enough for emergency home backup.

No 240V, so not going to work for most well pumps or central a/c systems but still ok to run your furnace blower for gas heat.

Not portable, definitely recommend a wheel kit if you plan on moving it around.

Yeah not 240. I have a small 120 supply one for my furnace but need 240 for my well pump
Was excited for a moment…
