[QUOTE="ncarper, post: 2007294, member: 5635"] I have a 5kw gen that I'm going to convert to propane; I live in the sticks and have a large propane tank. What I've found is that one can expect a 3kw gen to run for approx 9hrs at 50% load on a 20lb tank. This being the case, a 100lb tank should keep the gen running for 45 hrs - this would probably work for most common power outages. If you can't get/install a large tank, I'd plan on several 100# tanks - it's better than gas, and better than being in the dark. [/QUOTE]
