As I was thinking about backup power the other day the following train
of thought occurred to me:-

1. Generators are available powered by diesel or petrol

2. Petrol car engines are easily converted to run on LPG

3. My gas hob is easily switched between natural gas and LPG

So I was wondering whether or not it is possible to get a petrol
generator running off LPG, and if so, could it be further converted to
run off mains gas?

No plans to actually implement this but I'd be interested if it's
technically possible/prohibitively expensive/specifically precluded by
regulation etc.



You can run almost any IC engine of almost anything really. It just
takes some fooling with the fuel system.

However running a system designed to inject liquid fuel, on

e.g. piped gas at low pessure, would not be trivial.
