I'm modifying a portable generator to use natural gas.
As part of the conversion (there really isn't any other part), the carbuerator is being swapped out for a dual/tri-fuel carb that allows me to select CNG, LPG or gasoline.
The carb come with a pre-installed regulator that is suppose to bring the pressure down to between .29-.38 psi or 2.0-2.6 kpa.
What is the NG pressure after the in home regulator?
And, is the difference too wide a disparity that a step down regulator will be needed to drop it down even further to allow it to accept that low pressure?

thanks all
 
Natural gas is measured in water column and its usually 7-9" wc after city regulator. I think that is equal to a 1/3 psi.
