Note 1: Minimum tank size should be sized large enough to provide correct fuel capacity to generator at full load. Contact a LP
gas provider for correct tank sizing.
Note 2: Available tank capacity is approximately 60% of total fill capacity. This is based on a maximum fill level of 80% and a min-
imum operating level of 20% (80% - 20% = 60%).
Note 3: Vaporization capacity shown is based on a tank level of 20%. This represents the smallest allowable wetted surface area
of the liquid in the tank. As liquid propane level goes up, wetted surface area and vaporization rate increases.
