[QUOTE="SlugSlinger, post: 3617552, member: 7248"] What size generator? i was thinking about going with propane before I decided on natural gas. I have a 20kw permanently whole house generator.The issue I ran into was the size of tank I needed to run the generator and I wanted to bury the tank due to our covenants. The calculations I read were related to the gas flow vs tank size vs. tank pressure. As the flow rate increases from the tank, the tank pressure drecreases due to cooling. The larger the tank, the less cooling takes place. If the tank cools too fast there will not be enough pressure to run the genny. Just curious if you have experienced any issues around cooling and the tank pressure with the smaller bottles. [/QUOTE]
