The government has now taken a policy to replace the use of fossil fuel oil, such as gasoline and petroleum diesel, into gas fuel. A converter kit and the modification of air filter are used to flow LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) into a generator. In this experiment, a three kg gas cylinder is used as fuel to run a gasoline generator engine of EG 1000 N S Type which is produced by Honda. The engine has a specification to generated power of 220 volts with 4.1 A outputs and 0.9kVA (720 watts) when operated using Gasoline fuel. The electricity produced during the operation of the generator engine is 680-700 watt when fueled with LPG. It was found that the generator engine fueled with LPG contributes to lower emissions which are still following Indonesian government regulation standards with a threshold value of CO and nitrogen oxide less than 500 mg/NM 3 and 400/NM 3 , respectively.
