How long does it run on a 20# propane tank?

I'm afraid I don't know. Our unit is used for a parked trailer and shares a 7 gallon propane tank with the furnace and stove. Since I'm not the one living in the trailer I don't have any real sense of how often the tank is filled, how much of the use is the furnace vs. the water heater, etc. I do know that I was worried that it would use the propane a lot faster than the 6 gallon water heater that came with the trailer, but it doesn't seem to.

Well it lasted me 2 months, using it 2 times a day for about 20 minutes altogether.

We live in our trailer from the end of June until labor day, went thru 20# tank in about 3 weeks but that's for all our hot water needs. 2 showers a day and dishes and various other uses. Have now converted to 100# tank that services the rest of the trailer. and I used very little of that.

So sorry that none of these other answers answered your question, propane weighs 4.2 lbs per gallon in general. it has a 92,000 BTU valve per gallon. If you really got 20#'s in the little BBQ grill then (4.76 * 92,000) / 74,500 BTU / hr. and all things being equal, this unit should have about 5.8 hours of running time. So at 10 minutes a shower about 35 showers minimum. (max heat setting and max flow your mileage will vary)

a 20# tank on high has lasted me 6 hours if not on high roughly 11. They say 14 on low but I have never run mine just on low.

From experience I have found it consumes 1 gallon per hour, 20 gallon (BBQ) propane tank is roughly 4 gallons.

That entirely depends on your needs. Mine runs 24hours because tank has overflows that off gas the CO2. I originally had it in a timer to only come on during the day. I lee my drop checker green and my tank lasts about a month for a 30gal heavily planted tank

So long as the 20# tank has more pressure than the 1#, the propane with flow. You wont be able to get every last bit of propane out of the 20# tank. One trick I found to help is to put the 1# cylinder in the deep freeze...or if you live in North Dakota like I do, just leave outside when its 20 below... keep the tank you are filling from inside/warm before hand and it helps to refill the tanks quickly and to a higher capacity.

Hard to answer, if you burn on high probably 6/7 hrs medium to low 10/12. This is on a 20 pound BBQ grill size tank

Depend on the settings, low medium or high, this heater uses two 1 pound profane tanks or the optional 20 pound propane if you purchase the hose, on low setting it will give you 12 hours and 2 hours on high with the 20 lb propane it will give you over 20 hours on high setting

You can use 20 to 100 lbs tanks,I have found that a 30 or 40 lbs work the best [ease of movement and time before you have run out to refill your tank] As far as how long a 20 lbs tank will last-At full 60000 btu,outside 20f about 8 to 10 hrs.

I use the 20 pound tank and roll it around in a small wagon. If you keep the valve turned on to the lowest amount of gas you need it will last forever. I found out you don't have to have it at a blow torch level to get something burning.

nothing. the 20res is the model of the kohler generator representing that its a 20kw on propane fuel.

NO !!! 1st its not safe to keep a 20-lb propane tank inside your house. If it were to leak or some other way vent the propane into your house it would blow your house apart if it ignited. Second it is more expensive to run than natural gas or bulk propane in a giant outdoor tank. Better to use something like this inside if you have to.ProCom Recon Dual Fuel Vent-Free Infrared Heater - 20,000 BTU, Model# MD3TPF

I believe 4 hours depending on the setting. you are best to get the extra hose to use a 20lb bottle of propane [used for grills]. I have had mine for over a year and am very happy with it.

Propane contains 91K BTUs per gallon. A 40K BTU heater thus uses about gallon per hour. A 100# tank holds 23 gallons of propane. Thus about 52 hours of heat from a 100# cylinder (versus 10 hours on a 20 pounder). You often get a price break filling a 100# cylinder over the little grilling bottles. There can be pressure fluctuations when tanks get low thus larger tanks are better. Also, use a two-stage regulator for best results (e.g.; search amazon for ASIN B0024E6TX2).

It is connected to a set of 30 pound propane tanks and it is workingd good. It is using only one tank at a time. A 20 pound tank I have never tryied.

The blower is powered by 120VAC, I use mine in the garage during the winter months. I also use the propane tank from my BBQ grill. A 20lb LP tank will give you about 12 hours of continued heat. I love mine, I think you will too>

The time a tank of propane will last depends on if you run it on low medium are high.... If you run it on low none stop a tank will last about 20hrs on medium none stop about 12hrs on high none stop a tank will normally last about 8 to 10hrs max..... I use mine out in my shop and it puts of great heat even on low so I would think it would work for a green house.
