Generator fuel conversion

Yes, some of Generac's generators can be converted to run on different fuel types. This functionality varies by generator type and product family. Generally, fuel conversion should only be performed by the installer.

 

Air-Cooled home standby generators

• Guardian-series air-cooled HSB's will have an orange knob allowing for fast and convenient fuel conversion. Reference the How Do I Perform a Fuel Conversion on My Air-Cooled Home Standby Generator?  article for more information.
• Fuel conversion for Next Generation air-cooled generators occurs within the Field Pro app. This is configured by your installer and should not be modified.
   

Liquid-Cooled home standby generators

Conversion requirements vary by generator model. Some can be easily converted in the field using a knob, some require replacing the jets (mechanical conversion), while others will have fuel type specified in the ordering process and cannot be easily converted. More information can be found in the Can I Convert a Liquid-Cooled Standby Generator to Run on a Different Fuel Source? article.
 

Portable generators

Generac does not offer any type of fuel conversion kit for their portable generators, but dual and tri-fuel models are available. See product options on Generac.com or reach out to your local authorized dealer.
