How long could it run on a half load or quarter load. With a 30 pound tank

thankfully i haven't needed to run it more then the regular test runs. manual says 8 hours an a 30lb tank so 4 sounds about right. i did stock up on 30lb tanks.

Depends on the gas pressure. About one inch at one pound. Half at 10 pounds.

With my use I usually only ran 40-50 lbs for good rpm control, and light load, and a 3/8 hose, possibly your load is overriding the torque, but at 150 lbs of pressure it is quite likely that you will need a 3/8 or larger hose for this to produce its max torque under a fairly heavy load. Dan

I have a 5 hp 30 gallon, but I would say if you are going to use this regularly, a upright 80 gallon would keep up better. This uses a lot of air. For a light user, my 5hp is ok.

I couldn't really tell you since I never let it run down to the last drop. I usually filled it halfway. Also, depends on the setting you use. when I had it on max, it ran for probably 6 hours til it was down half.

The heater will reach its full output with a half gallon. But only expect about 4 to 5 hours runtime from it.

I purchased my propane frig this past year and used it for 3 four day weekends and a two week camping trip and have not yet run out the 25lb tank figure a total of three weeks+. I have been told that it would last a little over a month of camping with the 25lb tank. I would guess you would get about six to eight weeks roughly with a 35lb tank. Please note the unit runs coldest when it is on propane, there is no temperature setting for propane, so if you put vegies in it they will freeze over a few days. Lastly if the unit is "not level" then it will run less efficiently. Hope this helps.

The small tanks are two lbs. They will run it for about four days...1/2 lb per day.

Should be fine, we run it for half hour straight without any issue. Pressure just like home. Works great!

Heated my 36 foot trailer in November in northern Ontario. I always runv30lb tanks but I cant see why a 20 wont work. Ed

It should be fine for a 30g tank. You know the length of it so you can imagine how it would fit in your particular tank. One thing to remember since it isn't a stone the air comes out of puncture holes in a rubber tube. These are easily clogged but also clean easily with a little rubbing. You'll notice this if the air is only coming out of a few holes. Hope this helps.

I would say a 20 lb propane tank would last 1-2 hours with it on full. I'd also recommend that you get the squeeze-switch so that it only has a pilot running when you don't need it. This also increases the safety significantly if you drop it.

I used this for 600 hrs most of the time it was a light to moderate load constructing my house. I could get about 8 hrs on one tank on a light load and 5 to 6 on a heavy load

Might be to much for a 30 unless it has a very heavy load. I'm using it on a 54g corner and is working good and it is not turned all the way up.

I don't see why it would not work. The tank is only 2.6gal so keep that in mind. It delivers 3.8 cfm @ 40psi and 3.3 cfm @ 90psi. I have to believe your application fits somewhere in the middle of these.

it would depend on how much water you put in it. If you only partially filled the reservoir then it would not run for the full 8 hours.

im not sure but it will run 12-14 hrs. on a tank depending on your heat setting, HTH
