What types of generator parts does Generator Guru supply?

We specialize in parts for portable petrol generators (2-15kVA) used by homeowners, contractors, tree surgeons, and event companies. We stock parts for consumer and contractor-grade equipment, NOT parts for industrial diesel generators. Our focus is on parts for OEM, Chinese-made and lesser-known brands like Kipor, Lifan, Loncin, and Hyundai that major suppliers don't carry.

Do you supply parts for industrial diesel generators like Cummins or Perkins?

No, we specialize exclusively in parts for portable petrol generators for consumer and contractor use. For parts for industrial diesel generators (Cummins, Perkins, Volvo engines used in commercial backup power), we recommend contacting diesel generator specialists who serve that market segment.

How many generator parts does Generator Guru stock?

We hold over 1 million parts in stock across warehouses in the UK, USA, Canada, and Australia. We supply parts for 12,000+ portable generator models from over 1000 brands - more than any other parts supplier worldwide.

Why was Generator Guru founded?

Generator Guru was founded in 2007 by a self-employed generator engineer who was frustrated by the lack of replacement parts for Chinese-made generators. We built the business with a scope to supply this gap in the parts market and are now the world's leading supplier of parts for Chinese-made and lesser-known brand portable generators.

Does Generator Guru sell complete generators?

No, we specialize exclusively in replacement parts for portable generators. We do not sell complete generator units. We stock over 1 million parts for 12,000+ generator models and provide free technical support to help customers repair and maintain their existing generators.

Yes, we provide completely free repair guidance from qualified Generator Engineers. We support over 100,000 customers annually with fault-finding, part identification, and step-by-step repair instructions. Technical support is always free - we never charge for advice.

Now is the time to convert your Generator to a Tri-Fuel and ensure you always have power

Posted by The Generator Guru Team on 3rd Jun 2026

Fitting a tri-fuel conversion kit from GeneratorGuru.com lets you run your generator on Gasoline, Natural Gas (NG), Propane & Butane (LPG) giving you more fuel options.

Also... Running a portable generator on liquid petroleum gases (LPG) or natural gas (NG) instead of gas offers significant advantages: cleaner combustion, longer engine life, easier storage, and no fuel degradation issues. Whether you're in the UK, USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, Africa or anywhere else in the world, converting your generator to multi-fuel operation is a practical upgrade that can save you money and hassle in the long run.

At Generator Guru, we advise over 100,000 customers a year on generator maintenance, repairs, and conversions. Our team of experienced Generator Engineers has developed comprehensive guides to help you make informed decisions about fuel conversion. Here's what you need to know.

Why Convert to LPG or Natural Gas?

Cleaner Operation: LPG and NG burn significantly cleaner than petrol, producing fewer carbon deposits in your engine. This means less maintenance, cleaner spark plugs, and longer engine life.

Fuel Storage: Gasoline degrades over time and can gum up carburettors if left sitting. LPG and NG don't have this problem — your fuel is always fresh and ready to use.

Cost Savings: In many regions, LPG and NG are cheaper per hour of runtime than petrol. If you use your generator regularly, the savings add up quickly.

Versatility: A tri-fuel generator (gas, LPG, and NG) gives you ultimate flexibility. If one fuel source is unavailable during an emergency, you can switch to another.

Understanding Conversion Kits

Converting your generator requires a dedicated LPG/NG conversion kit designed for your specific engine model. These kits typically include:

Gas regulator (to control fuel pressure)
Gas mixer assembly (to blend air and gas)
Mounting hardware and gaskets

CRITICAL SAFETY WARNING: Converting a generator to run on LPG or NG involves working with pressurised flammable gases. This work should only be performed by competent, experienced individuals who understand gas safety regulations. Ensure you work in a well-ventilated area away from ignition sources. LPG and NG are heavier than air and can accumulate in low areas, creating explosion hazards. Never attempt this conversion if you are not confident in your abilities — consult a qualified engineer or gas safety professional. Improper installation can result in fires, explosions, carbon monoxide poisoning, or death.

The Conversion Process

1. Select the Correct Kit: Parts are NOT interchangeable between different generator brands and models. Visit generatorguru.com and select your specific generator brand and model to find the correct conversion kit for your machine.

2. Install the Kit: The kit replaces or supplements your existing carburettor, allowing gas to be drawn into the engine. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully, ensuring all gaskets are properly seated and all mounting bolts are torqued to specification.

3. Connect the Tank Regulator (if needed in your area): The regulator reduces the tank pressure to the correct operating pressure for your engine.

4. Test for Leaks: Before starting your generator, use soapy water to check every connection for leaks. Bubbles indicate escaping gas. Tighten connections and retest until no leaks are present.

Important Considerations

Power Output: LPG and NG typically produce 10-15% less power than petrol due to lower energy density. If your generator is already running near its maximum capacity, factor this reduction into your planning.

Oil Changes: Continue using the same mineral oil for all servicing. Do NOT use synthetic oil. LPG/NG operation actually keeps your oil cleaner longer, but still follow the manufacturer's recommended service intervals.

Valve Adjustments: Gas operation can affect valve clearances over time. Check your valve clearances regularly — specifications are published on the valve product listings for your specific model at generatorguru.com. See this video for proceedures and look up your "Valves" as we have published the recommended settings in the description under the Brand and Model on our Parts System.

Legal Requirements: Some regions require gas work to be certified by licensed professionals. Check your local regulations before proceeding.
