Sorry, the first word was supposed to be “I”...
Hey bud, I own a 24 hour call center and I am based on the Gulf Coast of Florida. It is not an option to not have power so I am in the market for a generator. I am probably going to be in the 47kw range or maybe a little less. You pretty much already answered my question with your post but I am just very nervous about spending this kind of money without having all the info I can get. So if my calculations are correct, including the 15 minutes each week the generator runs itself, you have used approx 132 hours on the generator and you have only used %60 of the propane in the 500 gallon tank? So that would mean that your generator could run for approx 290-300 hours on 500 gallons of propane? My concern is that my generator will be running 24 hrs a day in the event of a natural disaster down here and I need to make sure I am covered. Any info you could give me would be unbelievably helpful. Thanks in advanced bud.
