My Yamaha 2400i is converted to propane, love it. No smell from the exhaust. Although propane has less power than gas, it does have an adjustable mixture that makes it more efficient at higher altitudes. Gas engines do not have adjustable jets - EPA rules.
Mine came converted from a dealer so no warranty issues, actually it cost less shipped from NC to Ca, converted than the local dealer sold just the generator. They also sell conversion kits for DIY.
