Propane is available all over the world so the fuel and fittings are standardized.
Propane does not go bad therefore it may be stored for very long periods of time so generators and seasonal equipment that sit idle, for example, are much more likely to start using propane.
Most carburetor problems are eliminated by this non gumming fuel.
Sparkplug maintenance problems are reduced.
Unlike a gasoline engine that "floods," and raw fuel enters the cylinders, washing past the rings and into the oil.
Propane fueling is clean burning and it prolongs engine life having a low carbon content, that does not contaminate the oil.
