Can I convert to natural gas

No, it is built to run on gasoline. If you want a natural gas generator check out generac

I don't see any problems with Government Regulations because it's a portable generator. Now if it's used as a permanate fixture to a dwelling then you would get into Gov Reg & Permits. I agree with B Barber that it's built to run on Gasoline. If it could be converted you would have make too many changes for it to be feasible.

I would contact the manufacturer (http://www.championpowerequipment.com/) and ask them if it is financially feasible or doable. You don't want to spend a fortune converting this generator if you can buy a natural gas one for the same price. And if you go down this road, be prepared for lots of government red tape. You will definitely need a building permit and have everything check out by a licensed electrician and a plumber - which means more money. Natural gas would make more sense than gasoline, but it comes with a very high initial price.

Yes, drill out the orifice with a #45 drill bit. I did this & it works fine on natural gas.

The unit I have runs on the gas piped into my home by the gas company. I call this natural gas, so yes. If you mean some other source of gas I can't say what will work or not. By the way, it works very well and my summer gas bill was cut in half.

I believe almost all can be converted to propane or natural gas (snorkel??) as I did some cursory research but no expert by any means. Check centuryfuelproducts.com or uscarburetor.com, I believe they support Westinghouse and many other brands.

This is NOT a natural gas model. It is unleaded gasoline only. The model you are looking for is PD3G10000E.

It is not designed to be converted to gas. However, It is heavy duty and if you have the right skills and tools, you may be able to make it work. Even using wood, I like it and recommend it.

Swiss grills come in liquid propane and can be converted to natural gas. You don't need parts to convert. There is a you tube video that shows you how.

Converts propane grill to natural gas grill. Kitchen Aid models only, I believe.

I'm sure it could be converted but I don't think it was intended for natural gas.

I don't believe so. It would probably be easier seeing if some retailer will simply swap it out for you. The natural gas units are usually about $20 more expensive than the propane units.

Natural gas is low pressure and propane is a higher pressure, being a plumber I know it is easier / cheaper to convert from natural gas to propane , as opposed to the other way around, you should be able to get a smaller orifice to slip into the regulator that will convert it. Try a local plumbing and heating supply or contact Weber directly

Mine came with a hook up for propane tank. I can't say if you can use natural gas or not.

I believe there is a valve/ regulator you can buy at Home Depot or Lowes that converts from natural gas to propane. I don't think it costs more than $30....

No, this doesn't come with the conversion kit. The Natural Gas model is part# BIM485RBNSS-1.

You will have to hire a licensed plumber(?) to run a line from the nearest existing natural gas line. It will not be an inexpensive project.

Not directly, but there are attachments you can get that will regulate natural gas for propane applications, I imagine those would work.

I have not connected the heater to natural gas, but I know you have to change the propane gas jets to natural gas jets.
