My grand kids have me playing with BioDiesel (I have an 81 VW diesel pickup
with 300K still tickin')

BioDiesel project is working well and except for the mixing and trips to the
burger place to pick up the grease (g. kids chowing down on $25 worth of
burgers and fries) there's not much more the kids can learn from that at
this time. Even factoring in the B&F front loaded expense I'm doing BD for
<$1/ gal.

Kids now want to convert the lawn tractor (Sears with a B&S 18 HP) to run on
LPG (I think they're hoping something blows up BTDT mostly for the
excitement. <g> )

I've poked around and can't seem to find any useful info except for
conversion kits that are long on sales pitch but short on useful
information.

Anyone here ever converted a standard small engine system to run on LPG or a
gas gen set to NG? (gen set is the next project after the lawn tractor.)

If so can you share any links or info sources?

TIA
