why 100lb minimum tank
2063289
These heaters need a 100lb minimum tank because the amount of pressure it takes to provide good combustion in the ceramic core.

can't help you as it was a gift to my Grand son. Sorry- He is using a off his dads gas grill.

I have 3 of these heaters all running on 5 gallon tanks. All run beautifully.

It's not designed to be run on anything smaller. It'll perform better on 100# or larger. You might have trouble keeping the pilot lit, for instance.

We run one of our kozy world heaters off our big 300 tank, but for our guest cottage we use a 20lb, about to increase to a 40lb just to keep from refilling. Runs fine for us.

must be a pressure demand. I use mine on a 5 or 7gal tank and it works fine. I have noticed that it automatically cuts off after about 1/2 hour. I like that but didn't see anything stating that this is supposed to happen. I have been pleased with the heater.

Hi, I use 20 lb tanks interchangeable with those used on a gas grill ... so I think that means low pressure.

We just got ours installed yesterday and it works great. We did not have any problems with it cutting in and out. There is something about having a nothing smaller than a 100 lb tank. Could that be an issue?

This pump is not enough for return off 100g tank, I use for 46G tank and it is noisy and flow not constant to keep water level I prefer to use mag 7 for 100 gal tank.

100watt would be plenty. I have one in my 50gal tank and it easily keeps the tank at 78 degrees. Just as my 300watt keeps my 120gal at the same temp without difficulty. Hope this helps!

I have a 100 gal tank and it works great for me. The pump is great. With any of these pumps if you have to high of demand it's not the pumps fault if it can't keep up. I would purchase another if I needed one tomorrow. It's a good pump.

The description states a 95 pound limit. That information is available for everyone, even the two people who seemed to thing that a 250 pound fish tank will work, and available to you too. Maybe you are just kidding.

This tank is not designed to operate air tools. 100 psi might drive a few Brads or staples, but the pressure will go down with each one. Works great for topping off tires

I have them primarily on 30 lb. tanks, but also one on a 100 lb. tank. Works good.

We use a 20 pound tank in extreme cold we get three days on a tank and normal cold for our area we get 5 or 6 days depending on what is actually in the tank, I have no idea how long a 100 pound tank would last, dependent on temps, etc.

Yes. I use a 20 lb and 40 lb tank (switch out) and have had no problems. I use heater for supplemental heating. I assume because the smaller tanks will lose pressure faster is why they state only a 100 lb tank. I found you need to make sure you have a proper regulator (low pressure).

You will need 100. LB. tank to do the job I only get about 16 hours out of it. on high.

Robert, we have two twenties on line with our heater, but I can't think of any reason why you couldn't use a 100# tank

You need a 5 & 3/4" opening for the 100 unit. We have the 350 unit and it requires a 14 & 7/8" opening in the tank lid. I'm going off the spec's for your size that are indicated on the website.

Greater heating power for larger masses of water. 200 is probably fine for up to 100 gallon.

If the heater ran constantly, it would use 4.2 pounds every 3.5 hours. So if you actually had 100 pounds it would have a total run time of about 83 hours. But most 100 pound tanks are filled to 80% to allow for expansion, so you probably would have closer to 67 to 70 hours depending how full the tank is really filled.

Propane weighs 4.24 lbs per gallon so 100 lb capacity tank would hold 23.6 gallons.
