  1. Hi I don't think that would be a wise idea Duane. Your batteries and any other electrical equipment in that compartment have the potential to arc/spark if shorted or during normal operation etc, this in combination with the right amount of vapor and oxygen would be catastrophic. I would refuse this if it came to my shop. What are the reasons that you don't want to use LP? Several considerations to keep in mind 1 LP give less wattage than gasoline the 6500 is actually a 7000 watt gas gen using LP 2 all generators will loose a percentage of output for every 1000ft above sea level. (See Onan site) That generator will burn approx .8gal/hr @ half load. 1.2gal/hr LP at high rpm no different than gasoline. You could add an LP connection to your current set up so that you could have a spare 40# tank (9.4 gallons) this combined with your existing 30# 7.1 gallon tanks that gives you around 23 gallons of fuel. I have 2 30# and made an adapter plumbed to the driver side tank with 2 40# cylinders for a total of 33gallons. If you do decide to go with LP whoever does the installation make sure they use the correct diameter of fuel type. Had a number of units come back from another shop doing an installation the unit would freeze up because they were using a small diameter fuel line. I would highly highly suggest that you reconsider gasoline as an after market addition.
