Abstract: At the following essay it will be examined the use of gas propane in a small four-stroke engine of internal combustion that is used for the movement of a small alternative generator. The generator functioned at different electrical loads 500W, 1000W, 1500W and 2000W. During the use of propane was observed CO and HC emissions decrease under different load. The flow of propane was regulated so as until the load of 2000W the behavior of the engine from the aspect of efficiency to be the same with that of gasoline. This means that when gasoline was used and also when propane was used the engine rpm were the same for every electrical load. During the tests, the consumption of gasoline and propane was recorded and it was observed that it increased when the electrical load was increased. The gas propane consumption that was recorded was that which gives the same behavior of the engine from the aspect of power that the manufacturer gives for the use of gasoline.
