I'm interested to see if a 120W heater blanket on 1 30lb tank is enough to keep it running if the other one shuts down.

I believe I calculated needing three 1000 gallon tanks as -10F or something goofy like that to get enough vapor flow. Other option was a propane vaporizer that burned propane to vaporize liquid. Yeah, just went with a diesel base tank.

Or insuffient vapor pressure in the cold tank? Noting that vaporization will make the tank contents even colder. ---- Original Message ---- From: "Robert" Sent: 12/6/2024 8:46:32 PM To: af@af.afmug.com <mailto:af@af.afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Propane and Low temps https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XG9DN74/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8 <https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XG9DN74/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1> &th=1 On 12/6/24 6:03 PM, TJ Trout wrote: What about those wires that you wrap around a pipe and it kicks in a bit of heat when it gets below 32 or whatever, wrap the regulator and feed line On Fri, Dec 6, 2024, 5:27?PM Robert <i...@avantwireless.com <mailto:i...@avantwireless.com> > wrote: One of my customers built a solar concentrator to break water down by high temps.

That is like quoting the cost of electricity based on what it costs at a DC fast charger. Has more to do with delivery costs to move it into your tank than it has to do with the cost of propane which is like sub $2 a gal in MN right now. _____ -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
