Re: [MBZ] Need propane advice

Figure that they’re doing it for residential applications that use high volume consumers like furnaces, probably not a lot. And also figure that a worst case scenario is a full (80%) tank. Former business partner had two 1000 gallon tanks in Indiana that fed a 120,000 BTU furnace, he never had a

Re: [MBZ] Need propane advice

I wonder how much surface area you need to boil 2 gph of propane at OK winter temps? I'm sure that at negative Fahrenheit in Michigan, a couple of 100lb tanks wouldn't absorb heat fast enough. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.ok

Re: [MBZ] Need propane advice

This is true. You could easily run a line to the generator when and if you get one and run it off the same tank. It will need a separate regulator from the heaters, but you could still tap off the tank directly for it Being that winter is approaching I suspect tanks would be in higher demand thi
