Propane Tank

[Jim Blackwood]

We have a couple of propane tanks here, one at the house and one at the shop, and get propane deliveries once or twice a year usually. No big deal. Both are vertical "pigs" of maybe 200 gallon capacity. For the bus I've been looking for a deal on a horizontal Manchester of about 100 gallon capacity as it will also run a generator. It is to go in the front bay along with the genset. I sort of like having an independent fuel source. Based on past history refilling will be required infrequently and getting a truck to make a 100 gallon delivery isn't too difficult.

When I switched from a propane generator to diesel I took out the 65 gal propane tank, freeing up half a bay then put in 2 7 gal tanks. When one goes empty I switch and next time I go to town I take the empty one in and fill it.

Propane generator's do use some fuel and need large tanks my 3800 Onan in the Trek will suck up a GPH and the 12500 Onan diesel will use a 1/2 GPH running 3 AC units

Took out our 68 gallon tank years ago and replaced with 3 , 20 lber's on a slide with auto switch. Best thing we ever did. When we need more we take it out and refill. Very easy. Had a hard time finding fill stations to pull the bus into or having to unhook and drive bus to go fill it up or calling a gas suppy and them saying we can get to you on monday. Now easy peazy.
