I see it will run 12 hours at half load but it doesn't say how large the gas tank is. How large is the fuel tank?

From the manual: Fuel Tank - 3.8 gal. (14.4 L) capacity fuel tank. We have been pleased with this unit; easy to start and enough power to run both of our furnaces in an emergency. I put wheels on it to facilitate moving it around. Darn good value.

Not long enough. We purchased a 12 lbs. tank and hose so we could have lots of gas and reduce the cost of operation. Those little cans are expensive compared to refilling the larger tank at a much lower price. The grill is great so buy it and then get a refillable tank.

It would take 40 minutes to fill your 5 gallon tank, and if you had any leaks in your system at all it would be running all the time to try to maintain. Wouldn't recommend it for that large of a tank. I have a 4 gallon tank on my truck and tried to use it for air bags, horn etc.. took 20 min to get it to 40 psi with no leaks in system. Was pretty disappointed with it.

Probably only about 2 hours or so. Full on is extreme heat and a ton of flame. At 500,000 BTUs it is, at maximum output, 10 times more than your average grill on high.

It only runs on Propane. There are after market conversion kits. I don't know if they'll work on this unit, you'll have to research that. I have 5 20lb propane tanks. It got me through almost 2 weeks of no power during super storm Sandy last year. I went to home depot once for tank exchange.

We just did this camping last weekend. Lasted 5-6 hours on 1.5 gallons of gas

It uses the standard propane tank that is typically available at Home Depot, Lowe's and other general Hardware or Farm Supply stores. It will be about 12" diameter and 18" tall. It may also be referred to as a 40# tank. This is a very common tank and you will have to buy the first tank and then get it re-filled when empty. Most of these stores can either re-charge your empty tank or will exchange it with a full one they will have in stock. Typically you would simply exchange your depleted tank with a re-charged one that these stores will have on hand. Good luck and hope you enjoy this heater. The chimney is GLASS so be very careful when using, moving or storing this heater.

According to the manufacturer this unit uses .46 gallons per hour, but that is running continuously on high. Therefore, it should last about 43 hours at that level. Actual length of time would depend on factors like how cold it is outside, how high you set the thermostat, the size of space being heated, and how much insulation it has. When it's around freezing outside mine kicks on about 1/3 of the time on natural gas so I would expect it to last six days on a tankful if I switched it to propane. If the natural gas stops flowing I will simply hand it next to the window, run the supply line through the cracked window, and fill in the rest with a towel. Another advantage of this one over a cheap tank topper is that it has a low oxygen sensor so you do not have to worry about going to sleep with it on. Mine has been on all winter for four years and the only time the sensor shuts it down is when the jet needs cleaned which only required a drinking straw and lungs.

It is about a gallon and a half. Another reviewer said his was breaking down pretty bad so wonder exactly what that means. I bought one several years ago and it just quite working for some reason however; I bought another one this year. At $38 a pop and figure I got 38 dollars worth of use out of the previous one and I liked it so well I bought another.

The gas tank holds 1.1 gallon of gas. Ours ran for almost 11 hours on one tank.

I believe it has a 1.1 gallon tank . I've run it for 10-12 hours close to 50% before I ran out of gas.

I've never run it full blast. At 50-60%, a full tank will last 4 nights at 12 hours per night.

You can run a nice size flame for about (this is a rough estimate) of 15 hours. We bring one propane tank for a weekend and rarely go through it all. This product is awesome! Camp in Arizona with fire restrictions but with this unit always have a fire.

It runs a good 15 minutes depending how hard your driving and amazing buggy. I upgraded the engine to a .18 and its on fire now, super fast. Great car and very durable.

about an hour. you'll have to buy a 5 foot hose with a regulator an a propane tank for a grill. the bigger the tank say 100 lb. will last about a week depending on how long you let it heat. one thing it does heat. if you purchase read an understand the instructions.

The tank is 4gal. If you fill it to the brim. Above the screen. I run this unit every weekend it will hold the fuel. The tank is baffled. Hope this helps.
