Liquid-cooled home standby fuel conversion

Fuel conversion involves changing between liquid propane (LP) and natural gas (NG) fuel sources. While options exist to convert a liquid-cooled home standby generator fuel source, Generac support recommends that you specify your fuel type before purchasing. Working with an Independent Authorized Service Dealer (IASD) will help ensure your installation meets your unique requirements.
