Century Fuel Products Tri fuel kit installed on Storm Responder 5500 generator. 

I installed 2 of these exact kits on my B&S 5550/8550 gens, my first was after watching this video and after searching Craigslist for another generator to upgrade I found the exact model of my own for sale, same issue, carb didnt work. Fortunately for the tri fuel kit you don't need the carb to work in propane or natural gas. Just leave the choke open and it will fire right up. I opened my carb and same as you, the float was stuck. Easy fix and now I have 2 standby gens ready to go :)

Thanks, Blake! About to install the natural gas kit on my Troybilt 5500 and appreciate the step-by-step video.

I’ve had great luck with the Hipi carb on every thing so far

Great video. made it look as simple as it is. Because of the confusing detractions I purchased another kit for more money and it didn't have half the stuff century kit came with. And after installing the kit I purchased the tube or snorkel that goes in behind the choke prevents it starting on gasoline.

Great info, I have had the Storm Responder for 10 years now. Used it for about 5-8 hours a day for over a week when Sandy hit us in NJ. I haven't had the carb issue yet but I am going to have a closer look at the hose connections due to your discovery. Thanks for the video.

great vid, thanks. FYI- if it wasn't necessary the mfg wouldn't waste money adding plastic trim to the unit. the plastic trim pieces often are needed to direct air flow towards or away from the unit to promote cooling. they can be very important. trimming and replacing the piece like you did in the video is a smart move, instead of just discarding the trim entirely.

Thanks just what I have been looking for I have the same generator.

Wow great video Sir… Thank you for posting!

Thanks for video, glad you pointed out your mistake as I would've been the one to do the same thing. For the gas fittings I would go with either 1 or 2 sets of quick disconnect depending on if you want to coil the NG line up and hang it on the generator or hang it in the garage somewhere. Thanks again!

Wonderful. Just bought the kit for a generac 3300; looks like there’s some differences. A video showing you dialing it in with natural gas would be awesome.

Only used my generator a few times in west Texas during last blk out but on propane it was great under light load of freezer, ice box and heater fan Plus a few lights

Thank You for information and advice

Thank you Blake best video I have seen for this generator! . I have the same generator and will be doing this also! Born and raised on the westbank !!

Great video Man!!!!!

That's was. An excellent video thankyou easy to understand

Should you have to use the yellow tape instead of the white? Yellow tape is for propane and natural gas use. Not trying to be to negative just a friendly suggestion.

Blake I Enjoyed the video. I have the same generator so this was telling perfect video for me. FYI: the Teflon tape you used for the install is not for gas. The correct Teflon tape should be yellow in color. Just wanted to point that out. Thanks

Why thank you sir I live in New Orleans and yes it was pretty rough

Hey Blake, great video! We were in the path of Hurricane Ida - like nothing I've ever experienced. I'm curious... Do you know if this kit will work on a Troy Bilt 5550 Model# 01919-1? It also has a Briggs & Stratton engine. Just wondering if maybe there was some documentation with your kit that specifies what models it supports...

Big respect for guys that prepare for the worst to help their family for when bad things come from the land, air and sea. Too bad our government send all of those things to us and and is doing all they can to take our tools of protection and survival from us. The Biden camp to be specific.

can you tell me how many NG BTU's the unit now needs to run

The generator output is reduced, running on natural gas and propane, versus gasoline..

Hey mate, I live in Houston too, i also have a briggs and stratton 6000 watt generator, I am thinking about converting mines. Can you do a video update about how many hrs you get out of a 20-lbs or 100-lbs propane tank at 50% load. Thanks in advance.

Hey Blake great video. I have the same generator. What was the part number for the Century Kit.

Did you do a video on the start up with NG?

I have the exact same generator and the carb is clogged up from the gas I had in it, even with stabilizer. I want to convert to natural gas as well. Do I need to clean the carb out as well or replace it with a new one when I put the natural gas kit on, or is the existing carb no longer used to regulate anything?

@7:11 Does this spacer have a venturi effect shape for the inlet? Or just a pipe feed? If so, how can it increase vacuum to propane line, relative to airflow? Cause the purpose of that big bellow valve is just that: to open up more as the vacuum is increased.

Umm you need to Look at the yellow tape or pipe dope that’s rated for gas Teflon tape I don’t think will hold up well to gas please test often if you don’t change however I really think you should change to the specific type so nothing bad will happen

Will you get the same run time on propane as with gasoline?

I can't find the followup video to this one. You were gonna show us the whole rig operating.

Needs a hotter plug on ng

Help please! I have this same generator and cannot find the model # for the brigs and Stratton motor. Do you recall the model number?

Nice man, where in Houston is that at?

You used the wrong teflon tape for gas and you applied it in the wrong direction on the regulator.

That's the wrong Teflon tape to use for gas line applications. It will break down and leak if exposed to gas.

HOW MUCH IS THE KIT?

Your gonna loose 2k watt's on that generator its really to small of a generator for propane and ng ,sta with gasoline for maximum wattage on that gen
