Would a propane generator run on biogas?

I think so, yes.

From what little I remember from a high school small engines class, it would probably need to have the fuel mixture, and maybe the timing, adjusted.

Other threads have mentioned devices to clean up the biogas; those would probably be good for the engine, and the exhaust.

They are manifestations of the laws of nature, free to all men and reserved exclusively to none." SCOTUS, Funk Bros. Seed Co. v. Kale Inoculant Co.

No thanks. We have all the government we need. This tiny ad would like you to leave now:
