Can someone please tell me if the xg8000e can be converted to propane?

Last time I looked, generac did not sell conversion kits. You would have to look for aftermarket kits. There are videos on the web to help with the process but usually you cannot use gasoline again if you try to convert to propane or natural gas.

I don't think it can, I'm not 100% sure. Why don't you try the generac website. I do know that the smaller generator does come propane ready, BUT I recall reading that it will run 4.5 hrs at half load on a 20 lb cylinder or propane. That is the same size your gas grill uses. I don't know where you live but here in penna that costs me 15 dollars to fill that cylinder. So I'm not sure why you would want propane over Gas. I'm quite happy with my 8000 gas and will continue to use it. Hope this helps answer your question.

Hello CC,Thank you for your question. The NG in the product name indicates that it uses natural gas. For propane, search for FVI-12-LP. Here is the link to buy on Amazon: Eccotemp FVI-12-LP High Capacity Propane Tankless Water HeaterKind Regards,RossGadgetsGo305-791-1101

I guess it could but natural gas doesn't have the amount of energy of propane . With such a small generator you would not have very much power . Not a good idea .

Actually you could with a Kovea butane/propane adapter sold here and on ebay for about 21-24 dollars as it has a large propane to the smaller Lindel adapter. I'm just not sure if the ports of this particular stove can use pure propane. To be safe I would check with manufacturer. Previous answers on this item say it works wonderfully. I know propane is cheaper and works in extremely cold temperatures better, like -22, Isobutane like 15 degree's.

Technically no, it's listed as Green Gas only but I've used propane in it from day one. Nine months later not a single problem. Let it rip brother.

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

Yes. You should be able to convert to natural gas. Look for conversion kits that support three burners. Also make sure the nipples are rated for the BTUs of the burner. If you want to, I can look it up for you. That said, see my response to another customer. I had some major challenges assembling this grill including need for some modifications because the parts did not fit perfectly. Also, I listed some tips on assembly as well. Once assembled, I am happy. I grill year round here in Washington, DC. :)

I'm not qualified to answer that question (sorry)...Im sure with some tweeking of the propane/air mixture it would be fine...I would advise calling Generac directly for an expert answer.Alicia

It can be converted to LP gas but they already sell a unit that will do this. I don't know about "natural" gas, I think it could be with the right person doing it based on their skill level. Better to get one that is ALREADY built to do what you want it to do.

Yes. There is a bolt on conversion kit that will allow it to run on propane or natural gas in addition to gasoline

I believe there is a propane version. Rinnai either sells, or includes with the natural gas option a conversion kit for propane. Propane requires different burner orfices.

I am not a plumber, but it might be able to be converted if you can get the correct orifice. I think propane's are smaller than NG. Best to ask a plumber. Good luck!

It's a propane but they make a ng unit as well as a conversion kit. Read all instructions if doing a conversion it's easy to make an expensive error.

No. Sorry. I bought a gas generator by mistake. I called the Company and they told me that none of their generators can be converted.

Personally, I would not recommend that. Engines are generally designed with the fuel in mind. But if you are determined, it CAN be done although there will be some power reduction. There are a number of retailers that specialize in generators that are easily found with an internet search. Consult with them or try a specific search for propane conversions. Propane retailers may also be able to help find what you seek. A local generator repair shop is another possibility. Good luck!

I am not 100% sure but most propane operated equipment can be changed by using a different type of intake adapter. I would get with your local gas company and I am sure they have an adapter to use. I know they can take a stove from natural gas to propane so it should be the same principle but just in reverse.
