<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Alot of these generator setups need 2 regulators, so usually the regular one stays at the tank, size the pipe for the flow rate ( just like wire and amps....<span class="moz-smiley-s3"><span> ;-) </span></span>.) and put the 2nd regulator right at the generator.<br />

<blockquote>Ditto Tom, seen this too often in Mexico. I carry a manometer to make check the pressure at the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">LP input to the generator with the engine running</span>. Make sure it is at/above 11" WC when it starts to act up. If the regulator is at the tank, long vapor runs can cause too much pressure loss.

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The installer/dealer couldn’t figure it out. I went out and immediately saw the small pipe, plus they had bent a crimp into the incoming fuel line as well. ¾” line fixed the whole thing. LP has a lot of moisture and will always have delivery problems with funky installation of pipe. Seems that a lot of gas guys just hook up kitchen ranges (Here)</span></div>
