Turn a Chinese mini excavator into a PROPANE-powered machine!
In this video, I convert a small excavator to run off a standard BBQ grill tank using a tri-fuel carburetor swap. Cleaner fuel, longer storage life, and no gasoline headaches.
This propane conversion works on many Briggs and Raro / Chinese small engines, making it perfect for mini excavators, skid steers, generators, and small equipment.
