What is the procedure to convert a 7500KW portable gas generator to propane? Would it be cost effective?
Hauling and storing gas is getting old. I have a 500 gal. above ground tank about 50 ft. from where I run the generator.

For most gensets, simply changing the orifice and a few adjustments will allow the conversion.

Here are links with instructios and video:

I cannot say that I've ever done this or known anyone who has, however, I found this helpful step by step on the internet from someone who says it's relatively easy and can be very cost effective:
