Due to annual threats of a Hurricane, I purchased generator which is designed to operate from propane ( like the little tanks that are commonly used with a gas grill). Since I have a 500 gallon propane tank that feeds my house, I would prefer to "T" off of the line where it enters my house and feed the generator from there. Problem is, The pressure on that line is <10 psi, but the normal input pressure to the generator is 30 to 100 psi. The input line to the generator goes to a little device which I suspect is a let-down regulator. I am wondering if I can just go around that device, straight into the mixing chamber. I don't know what the correct gas pressure would be in that chamber. I suspect near zero. Can you shead some light on this subject for me?

I use it to bbq, camping, etc... many things! You are right about it being a "green" gas, it's generally safe, and safe for the environment. I recently just bought a propane powered string trimmer from this company called LEHR which is soon to follow it with a whole line of propane powered tools. Let's get rid of gasoline and start using propane! I’m an avid user of propane and I just wanted to comment to say how great it is that it’s finally getting some attention!
