It is against Federal law to convert any gas appliance to a fuel for which it is not specifically listed for on it's rating label. I would doubt anyone has ever been prosecuted for running a unit with other than the listed fuel but dealers have been fined for converting appliances not listed as approved for Nat gas to Nat gas. The "Juristiction having authority" aka the gas company, can refuse you service if you hook it up and run it on an un-listed fuel as they will be liable and fined if found out. Your Homeowners policy can refuse to pay if there was an un-approved appliance hooked to an improper fuel.
This came about with LP reforms in the late 90's and early 00's. Too many deaths had occurred from improperly installed heaters and other gas appliances and the Feds fixed things.
