Propane is the perfect standby fuel because, unlike gasoline and diesel, it won’t degrade over time.
Homeowners can expect a propane-powered generator to burn 2-3 gallons per hour. Many Ferrellgas customers have generators powered by a 500-gallon propane tank. Keeping in mind that a propane tank is considered “full” at 80 percent water capacity, a full 500-gallon tank contains 400 gallons of propane. That means a 500-gallon tank that only powers a home’s propane generator can last 5-6 days.
Propane tanks, including 20lb cylinders, should not be used or stored indoors. Be sure to reference and follow the manufacturer’s instructions that come with your propane generator or any other propane appliance.
