Would like to use on larger propane tank. Wonder if it will work on this.

I have only used it for my 20 gallon propane tank for my barbecue, I do not know if it would work with larger propane tanks, I am guessing it might but I would go to the propane genies website to check it out, It really works great for me.

Hi there. Can you give me some idea of how large the tank is? The Propane GasGenie picks up small temperature changes in the tank wall as the gas is used up. If the tank is very large the changes could be too small to detect. Regards Peter

Well, I'm not sure what you mean by "larger," but since the device is giving you an estimate of how much propane is left in a tank, I suspect the size would not matter. The device needs to be placed as low on the tank as possible. If you can do that part, I think you would be ok. Good luck!

I would think that it will work on any size tank, put it near the bottom of the tank, it should work.

It has a regular propane attachment so it shouldn't matter what size tank you sit it on. The only issue I can see is that the heater would sit perpendicular to the ground. I'm not sure how that would effect the operation.

As long as you can get to the tank and lift it straight up I think it should work fine. My tank happens to be in a patio heater and I have to take it out to use this gauge, thats why my tank has a gauge on it. I have used it to make sure the gas vendor has filled the tank. I hope this helps. Chuck

yes if you have the propane hose and same fitting as the smaller blue or green propane tanks the fat green one is difficult to attach because barely enough room to clear the regulater, but yes hose with proper fittings should be cool, I would have no problem with fit. ok

Any size propane tank will work, it is just a matter of having the right adapters to connect. My unit had the typical connector you would find on a barbeque grill but I use an adapter for the 1 lb can, available at most hardware stores. Other than that just make sure you hook the hoses up correctly (I had the water in hooked to the water out on the first try).

As long as the connector(s) are the same - it should work no problem. I believe propane threading/connectors are universal, so you should be ok. But Im not an expert. The only other caveat is that when using this pit at its highest setting you may go thru the smaller tank quickly. Ive only used my pit for maybe 30 min - 45 min at a time (on my patio) and I switch the tank between this and my grill all the time - so I cannot give accurate info on how long a 5# tank would last at full flame - but I have only refilled my 20# tank twice since I bought this nearly 2 years ago. From a standpoint of quality, its awesome. This thing is a tank and has lasted great so far. As long as the connector(s) are the same - it should work no problem.

You do need to get the small regulators.With mine I use my regulators for the acetylene and oxygen tanks. The acetylene regulator will fit on propane tank.

Well, make sure you have the correct Mr. Heater. Propane gas is different than Natural gas. But, yes, a Propane powered Mr. Heater will work with a smaller size propane tank. I have a Natural Gas Mr. Heater. Use it almost every day. It is located in the garage, hooked up to the gas line that feeds the hot water heater. Read instructions relating to venting. I do not vent mine, but have some fresh air from garage door leaks.

You should be able to get a longer hose from most propane dealers and any fittings you might need. I got a long hose and adapters so i can use mine with my house propane tank.

I used mine with the large barbecue style propane tank. I connected the tank to my Coleman Road Trip grill, a lantern and the coffee maker.

if your appliance uses the small bottles that screw onto it then yes.. yes this is the hose you want to run the larger white propane tanks that are used on bbq's and rv's.. great addition to any propane appliance and the hose is long enough to have the bottle away from the heat source,,

The burner that I ordered works very well with high pressure propane (like in a gas bottle). "Plug-in gas" tubes in a house use lower pressure, so the orifice size will be wrong, and the regulator will also be wrong. My advice: don't do it.

I am using the standard grill tank. I can't see why you couldn't use the 40# tank if the connections matched. The only time you are using propane is when you are using hot water. Depending upon your application a 20# tank might be large enough. It certainly is for me.

I imagine it would since the connections for the small propane tanks would have to be the same on all of the Coleman grills. I suppose the best bet would be to check with Coleman directly either on their website or via phone?

I am not familiar with the Mr. heater, but if your unit takes the 1 pound propane bottle, then this hose will certainly adapt you to the larger tank.

No, I haven't done that. The tank works great for camping as a stove and light propane source, with the relevant equipment. If the heater you mention is supposed to work with standard propane tanks, then sure, it should work on this one.
