sean,

not a bad idea, Im not sure exactly what it would entail, i think its the addition of a tank, regulator, and different carburetor, or carburetor kit. I know several years ago you could go to your local gas company (natural gas/propane) and they could give you loads of information on the conversion. I would assume that this would still be true.

Good Luck, and if you do it, let all of us know how ot works out !


Regards,
Drew
