Generac Propane Consumption - LongLook - 07-25-2016 I'm looking to install a 22 kw Generac generator that will need to feed off propane. I'm also in the process of planning the propane tank installation and trying to estimate the size. Can anyone estimate the propane consumption of a unit assuming a nominal load? Any other considerations, warnings or recommendations would be welcome.
We have a whole house Generac unit. During home construction, I had the electricians install an automatic transfer panel, and I added the 22kw unit myself a year later.

RE: Generac Propane Consumption - fredhargis - 07-26-2016 Crockett, yours is the size I intend to have installed this fall as well. Right now I'm thinking a 330 gallon tank will do it, but it will be sueful to see the other opinions.
A bit of a tangent, but when I had a Generac installed I found that the cost between a 10 KW unit with a transfer switch that could handle X number of circuits wasn't really all that much cheaper than the 17 KW unit with whole house transfer switch I decided on. A couple of thousand $'s.
I learn’t me somethin’ about my Generac ATS this past week that could have been a bit costly. It was around 4:00pm and out of the blue my generator kicked on so I’m, as usual, feeling pretty cocky being the only guy in the neighborhood with a generator and power when everyone else is in the...
