80% of all automatic standby generators in the state of Maine run on Propane Gas. The remaining 20% are run of natural gas. There are diesel generators but I have not seen many.
As a side note, 90% on the automatic generators out there can be converted from propane to natural gas easily. No need to purchase a new generator if natural gas becomes available.
Generators typically draw around 1.5 gallons per hour.
Propane tanks vary on size but the most common size is a 110 gallon tank.
During the winter typically a 110 gallon propane tank only has 85 gallons of “usable” fuel in it.
For the gas piping installation I have the company who is supplying the gas do the install of the gas piping. This way there is no confusion if there is every a question about fuel to the unit. One sole source of responsibility.
