There's a mistake in there somewhere,
A 10 pound tank would be slightly over 2 gallons of propane
No way could you run the generator and a/C for 20 hours on 4 gallons of l.p. weighing 20#
A 10 gallon tank would be 45 pounds , so that would be 20 gallons weighing 90#, that I can believe
It's been over 20 years since I bought propane by the pound
Even though many people still speak of lp using that term
It's pumped and paid for by the gallon every where I go

I have not refilled my tanks yet to answer your question, but we went dry camping for three days over the 4th in 100 degree temps and started out with two #10's tanks 80% full. Ran the Onan for 20 hours with AC on. One glitch…….oops …...stored unit and did not shut off the tanks for a five day period and as I shut them down yesterday red was showing at the valve! I may have a leaky system. Back to the drawing board. Interested in comments from your post.
