I also thought that the lid would fit on without any issue and I did have it offset between the lid's ridges. I believe that my generator's fill cap was too wide - maybe they changed them? When I get a chance I'll post some photos with measurements.

I don't think the shapes are consistent when they cool out of the mold and they're shipped stacked, etc. I used a hair dryer to ease some of the pressure. Especially after adding the metal anti theft handles to the gennies. Not a big feal either way, imo. I also installed a gasket, but it doesn't stick real well. What brand and shape gasket did you all use?

The California lid doesn't fit the ridge well. I replaced with the 49 state caps.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a storage container that fits a Honda eu2000i with propane conversion? The regulator is mounted on the side of the generator - mine will have the mounting bracket to hold the reulator to the rubber feet.

I bought a second front panel and store the genset in a 24gal AP.
The LPG supply hose & equipment along with the mounted regulator gets stored in a tote bag from Griot's Garage.

Mounted on rubber feet........disregard above post.

Gas cap interference an old style replacement cap will help.

Do propane conversions run just as well as gasoline? Any drawbacks (aside from fitting in a storage bin )
