Re: Newly-filled Propane Tanks empty in four days-not used much
Camped out for five nights this November. Well below freezing every night. Had a generator going all night and used a 800 watt heater. The furnace was set at 70 degrees. burnt up 25 pounds of propane. I generally weigh my tanks so I know how much fuel I have. In Canada the tanks have to be re-valved every 10 years. A new expiry date is stamped on the neck. I wonder if your propane was in fact mostly butane. Butane stops evaporating when it gets cold. Also when you get liquid propane on you hand that is not a burn, that is instant frost bit.1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Does generator brand make a difference?
On low end generators you have to look at the circuit breakers. If they are 13 amp then it probably will not run the air conditioner. My cheep generator has a 30 amp breaker and two 20 amp breakers. It only has 120 volt outlets on it and is rated to hold at 3500 watts. When I was looking for a generator I noticed that any that had a 240 volt outlet did not have the current output needed for operating the air conditioner but had wattage rating over 3000.452Views0likes0Comments
