If it runs on gas, it can run on propane ... 2 older Onan gensets that I have are dual fuel carbs that can be switched. Make the conversion and hook it to your propane tank. Fuel storage issues for gas go away. On Wed, Jun 15, 2022 at 9:03 PM dan penoff.com via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com>

If it runs and makes electricity, yes. It’s a 10kW Onan powered by the predecessor of the CCK engine (built by Onan) that would be the generator equivalent of a 240D. Understand that it’s gasoline powered, meaning maintenance and regular exercising is of the utmost importance, or it quickly

IIRC the lighter sockets of the W114/W115, like old American iron, are fairly deep when compared to the newer cars like R107+. The lighter socket hardware, like seat belts, are 100% American in origin, but have been drifting. The _power_ sockets, though, I believe retain the original depth.
