I was thinking about getting a portable generator for my house. The Firman dual fuel generator appeals to me because it gives me the option to run on either gasoline or propane. https://www.costco.com/Firman-7500W-Running--9400W-Peak-Dual-Fuel-Generator.product.100417697.html
After looking at how my house is set up and location of the natural gas line to the house, I was thinking it may be worth considering natural gas as my primary fuel so I wouldn't have to worry about running out of fuel during a hurricane
My question is; how would I go about making the dual fuel generator run on natural gas? I've seen dual fuel generator conversion kits for about $40 https://www.amazon.com/HIPA-Generator-Carburetor-Conversion-4-5-5-5KW/dp/B019RLSJQ4/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=natural+gas+generator&qid=1570494453&refinements=p_36%3A2661613011&rnid=2661611011&sr=8-2 I was thinking that kit would be applicable if the generator was gasoline only, but since it is dual fuel, this wouldn't be applicable.
In this case, would it be better to just buy a gasoline only generator and then add the conversion kit (I guess that would mean I wouldn't have propane as an option)?
