Propane tank minimum size

Propane tanks supplying liquid propane vapor to a Generac home standby generator must be at least 250 gallons, and larger tank capacity may be needed depending on the installation, fuel demand, or climate. A free in-home estimate will help determine the best setup tailored to a specific home or site. In-home consultations are available at no charge, with no obligation to proceed with installation.
