Greetings from Southern California -
Has anyone done a "dual fuel" conversion to a 4KW onan generator... In a 23 footer ??
Jerry -
Might it be significantly different than your Western States write up ??
Thanks in advance for your comments.

As you guessed, the Western States presentation by Jerry Work will not work in the 4K Onan. There's no space to mount the fuel control module on the 4K engine. I believe I've seen a propane modification where the fuel control was mounted at the back of the battery compartment which is a possiblity. Aside from the mounting logistics, most of the parts from WS Carb would be needed to convert the 4K.

Gnen,
Congratulations I didn't think it could be done! It looks like the generator compartment was also modified. Was that a requirement? Also, the control module isn't that close to the carb where the injector is located which was a concern.
