Okay, I have been looking into buying a generator for awhile now and here is my deal I can't figure out if I want the liquid propane or the natural gas model. I think I want the natural gas one but I need to know how hard it is to tap into the line and hook it up.

Thanks in advance.

Have you ever hooked up a garden hose? Its that simple. the trick is to rub some dishsoap on the threads first. When you turn the gas on, if you dont see bubbles, the seal it tight.

Id go propane personally. That way you can just exchange tanks and the generator is more portable.

Figured it couldn't be that hard. Why would you want your generator to be more portable? Its also more expensive to go buy a propane tank and get it filled every so often.

pics dude. sounds like a nice setup where you got it down like that. I just got a bottle. I can tell you it is frustrating not to just let her rip.

I would like to know though exactly what fittings I need to get and all that before I order it. I can get pics of my gas line later tonight.

Take a picture to the hardware store. That is the only way for a novice. Plus if you are using threaded pipe you have to tap in to a spot already set up or you have to disassemble from one end.
