Steps to Convert Duramax XP 13000 to Natural Gas

The Duramax XP 13000 is a powerful and reliable generator that is capable of running on both propane and natural gas. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to convert your generator to run on natural gas. By following these simple steps, you can enjoy the benefits of using natural gas as a fuel source for your generator.

1. Removing the Back of the Air Cleaner

The first step in the conversion process is to remove the back of the air cleaner. This will allow us to access the necessary components for the conversion. Simply remove the tube and vibration bracket bolt located at the back of the air cleaner.

2. Removing the Cover and Filter

Next, we need to remove the cover and filter from the air cleaner. Unscrew the bottom of the cover and carefully remove it from the top. Behind the filter, you will find a plastic cover that needs to be pulled off.

3. Removing the Nuts Holding the Back of the Air Cleaner

To proceed with the conversion, we need to remove the two nuts holding the back of the air cleaner. Take your time to carefully remove them.

4. Installing the Slim Adapter

Now, it's time to install the slim adapter. Since the studs may not be long enough to accept the adapter, we will need to make some adjustments. Push the carburetor back as far as possible and use vice grips to turn the studs out until there is enough clearance to accept the adapter. Approximately four complete turns should provide enough room.

5. Installing the Spacer and Air Cleaner

To ensure stability, we will use a spacer between the slim adapter and the vibration bracket. Insert the spacer and align the air cleaner properly. Tighten everything down securely.

6. Mounting the Regulator Assembly

The next step is to mount the regulator assembly. Mark the desired location on the generator frame, approximately midway between the frame bars. Drill the marked spots and mount the regulator assembly using the provided hardware.

7. Installing the Hose on the Regulator

Now, it's time to install the hose onto the regulator. Make sure to tighten it securely, but not too tightly. Twist the hose to remove any kinks if necessary.

By following these seven simple steps, you can successfully convert your Duramax XP 13000 generator to run on natural gas. Enjoy the benefits of using a cleaner and more environmentally friendly fuel source for your generator.
