You don't use Teflon tape on those type of gas fittings. Besides, you are using the wrong tape for gas, it should be the yellow tape.

I hope you enjoy this Video, ping me with any questions, I am here to help !

nice setup!

You know, you can get those blue rhinos refilled too... I buy them from Blue Rhino so every 5 years or so I turn the old tanks back into them and get a new tank. Otherwise, I fill up at Tractor Supply or Uhaul. It costs $10-$15 to refill and you actually get 20 gallons instead of Blue Rhino's 15 for $30.

Thank you for the video. I'm new to this. I take delivery next week. Cheers to all men who keep the lights on.

What about tank to barbecue adapter?

My gasoline storage plan is keeping my old 1998 Suburban's 43 Gallon gas tank full at all times. I have a siphon pump ready just for the occasion. I feel much safer with my kids running around and not having access to two dozen gas cans laying around.

Thank you for all the practical knowledge. Have the same generator and you saved me lots of grief and expense.

learned a lot thanks

Kelly, I was laughing my ass off with your story lifting the tank and the fuel leaking.... Thanks for the info, I will be sure to follow your advise on the truck vs. car and to vent the fuel and not to spill it in my car. I'm ordering the Tri fuel system generator.

It amazes me how in a hurricane Everybody wants to run everything in the house. This is survival. Just think of yourself as going camping. Get a camping stove, or lanterns that use batteries or lamp oil. Portable buddy and / or a big buddy propane heater. Pick one room occupy that room heat just that room this is survival !! I've watched people that want to have the ceiling fan, lights, stove etc. on in the house As if nothing is happening. As if this just any old regular day. I bought a small chest freezer and put everything from my refrigerator into the freezer and bought a cooler refrigerator freezer. Put it in the refrigerator cooler. I will take 2 or 3 days worth a food from my freezer. Put it into my refrigerator cooler style refrigerator and let it fall and keep. And eat food from there. that way. I would only have to open up my chest freezer every 2 or 3 days. Conserving energy and the refrigerator cooler doesn't take as much power as a regular size refrigerator. Remember, This is survival. remember his just for 2,3, 4, or 5 days. Not to mention when everyone is doing without during a hurricane, your loud generator is going and the house is lit up just like it's any regular day, drawing all of that attention. You wouldn't need even half of that fuel if you had just been in survival mode. And not try to light up and run everything in a 3 or $400.000 house. Like there's nothing happening. this is survival!! get you a butt eater. Just run what you need to run, get canned food. Camping stoves, just whatever try to run your entire house. Using a ball that gas and propane. To live like nothing's happening. And as far as putting gas back in the car. I don't know what about a long funnel.

Curious what’s the THD on that generator

I have a boat with a 70 gallons tank. I pull it out of the water for most hurricanes. It doubles as my generator fuel tank...

I was thinking of doing a similiar setup. I've been through a few hurricanes and gas in populated areas gets scarce in about 3 fays so I went with a tri fuel Firman 10k. I was thinking about going with 2 x 100 lb tanks but now I'm thinking I would be better off goung with a few 40 lbs instead. Do you know how much runtime you get of a 100lb tank?

The bevel or tampered fitting do not require teflon tape. Only the sqaure or flat fitting and you never use plain white tape. You use the yellow that does not degrade from the propane. White plumbing tape will cause leaks.

Forget stable that stuff will plug up your carb use sea foam works much better..

To the best of my knowledge, don’t haul metal gas cans in a truck bed with plastic bed liner, I think that’s why they went away from the metal cans because of the static from the plastic bedliner to the metal can was dangerous, just something to keep in mind

I amazed at how little mechanical ability you have and yet you still are doing stuff. It appears you don’t own any proper tools such as a socket set.

You used the wrong tape for the connections. Propane is corrosive and will eat that tape. You need the yellow tape specifically made for gas. You also dont need tape on the those fittings that are tapered.

How about the weight of the 100 lbs of propane when it comes to handling it getting it refilled?

Around 1:14 you make a false statement. Perhaps you just mis-spoke. The correct thing to say is that one should only use thread tape on tapered threads. If using for propane, the thread tape must be compatible with propane. Do not put thread tape on straight threads. Straight threads are used where o-rings, or washers, or flares are used to make contact and seal.

Works great for the camper and no more power outages at the house

For how long did you run it ,in hours, with propane gas. And for how many days? Thank you. Your video is very educational.

three questions: did you run the generator day & night? can the propane folks come out and fill the tank? and I'm considering the 9000 inverter version of your generator. Has it held up well over the years? Thanks!

Down in Miami Dade. Videos are *great* as I'm prepping for this year. Love the hat, too. Good job.

Buy 2 100LB propane tanks and buy a soft start kit for your A/C. The soft start will cut your amperage and lower your wattage load and allow you to conserve propane, which is probably your biggest issue in terms of power consumption. Or, you can convert it to Natural Gas and try that.

Thanks for the info

You should Not shrub your stainless Grilla Grill with the Rough Sanding Pad. Never!!

Please let me know how you store you 100 pound propane tank when not in use

Do you have a link for the Jerry cans?

Were you at the Capitol on 1-6-2021 with the rest of the MAGA Republican/Trump trash Morons?

THIS WAS SOME GREAT CONTENT I WISH I COULD FIND SOME GOOD ARMY CANS

Curious, how did u transport the 100lb propane tank in your car? I wanted to get one but read you can't transport it on it's side. And like u I only have a car.

Take that tape off that male POL connection

I should take that back I'm not scared. I'm just not going to get caught with my pants down

I subscribed because of your hat. And I'm in California and they're scaring the hell out of everyone saying they're going to give us a cold winter old Biden boy and Gavin Newsom

*100% best **Generater.Systems** I have used. A test for hurricane prep here in Louisiana: three AC units, 5000, 5000 & 8000, 3 fridges, 2 device power setups, 4 flat screens....AND I had 40% of the power meter to spare.*

I had the top of the fill valves changed so that they can come and deliver the propane by truck, I bought 2- 100lb tanks. Used just one tank during Ian ran 2 refrigerators TV computer, and all house lights.Ran for over 36 hrs I still have 1 eight of a tank left. Didn't even use the second tank. Ran great non stop.Champion duel fuel gen. 9000kw .

Should have got 5 gallon VIP jugs - they are the best. I have 8. Have no idea what you are talking about regarding opening a gas can every week to release the fumes. Who opens their their plastic lawnmower gas can every week to release the fumes? Vapor pressure within the can is achieved and stabilizes within an hour of sealing a gas can. Releasing it does nothing but restarting the process of repressurizing it again. Yeh lesson about propane is a good one. I would go with NG but since you did not mention it I assumed it was not available in your area. Nice video

Excellent overview of what is actually needed, including pros and cons of gas vs propane. This really makes me want to just invest in a Generac whole house system.

I have a Duromax 4,850 Watt Dual Fuel Portable Generator on a 3200 sq home here in Florida and I just when tru Hurricane Ian and I did what had to use in that case of emergency I don't need total electric to the hole home all I need enough in an emergency to get me until power is back....and guess what I did is real good and I did not have to spend all that money on a bigger generator. mind you I only use 3 20lb propane tanks, and it got me there my power is back on. wink wink.......

You dumbass a funnel would if worked with those shirt nozzle cans to fill your car. You deserve what you got. Oh trump is a treasonous traiter.

Looks like the Beast, loves to suck down fuel , like my V8 engine in my Mustang

Metal cans! Geat things....exept throw the snorcle away, and use a funnel....then....good probs...to the millitary...

Do you have natural gas at your house? It will run on a line tap.

You should have put a adapter on the propane tank. Takes only 1 adapter.

Thankyou for sharing your video, how many hours can you run this duromax on One Tank of gas?

Nice hat!! Good videos!

Did you ever have the propane regulator freeze up? Mine keeps freezing! I have the same generator

So would window A/C units be more forgiving? Less BTU’s
