From: Dan Lanciani on 24 Jun 2010 17:41 Are there auto-changeover propane regulators (or separate auto-changeover devices) for fixed (2x 1000 gallon) tanks? The propane company putting in my tanks had not heard of this, and Google searches turn up only ones for small RV tanks. Ideally something with a remote indicator would be nice; I could arrange for the computer to email me to call for a delivery... Dan Lanciani ddl(a)danlan.*com

Depending on the type and size of load, you don't want the tanks to drain separately.

Are you using the same pressure? I've not seen any with remote indicators though.

Will the RV regulator handle it? I have an auto-switch regulator on two 100-pound tanks for my standby generator. The regulator doesn't care of they are 5 gallon tanks or 10,000 gallon tanks, it just switches when the vapor pressure drops in one tank. Those auto-shift regulators are not just used in the RV world, they are used all over the south in places where rental 100# tanks are used for cooking and DHW. I have never seen a remote indicating one, but I am not in the 'biz. Vaughn

You don't need an auto change over . Why do you need two tanks? There exists devices that calls the gas company to top up the gas when it's low. Works on cell phone net. Some weigh the tank, some have a floating thingy inside the tank. Even without that technology, they'll come and top up on a regular basis once your useage pattern has been established. |
