Hi Joe,

Funny you should ask... I'm reading that right now. Here's what the website 
says,

"Is there any power loss when operating on alternate fuel?

No, we have never had a single unit show a loss of power on alternate fuel.  
Though lower gallon-to-gallon in BTU content, sometimes they perform even 
better than running on gasoline (see also fuel consumption).  The engine regulator 
we install has an external fuel mixture adjuster that can be turned with your 
fingers and can be fine-tuned to your elevation and to the fuel supply 
connected.  That's why we include the Engine Hour/Tachometer Meter with every 
generator.  You can watch the engines rpm output while turning the mixture adjuster 
for peak performance and high efficiency.  This allows full control over the 
fuel mixture no matter what elevation.  This is a big advantage that allows the 
engine to be reset at anytime.  Engine do not use nearly the same fuel 
mixture in say Florida as they would in Colorado.  Unlike operating on gasoline 
where the carburetor is a fixed jet and it can not be adjusted only replaced.  
Lean on alternative fuel is cool running, clean burning and efficient."
