Questions Re: Propane Tank Longevity and Exchange
Hello to All:
I recently replaced both of my 20-lb. propane tanks and I have the dual regulator where when one tank is empty, it will automatically rollover and begin using the other tank.
Two questions for the group:
1) Assuming continuous use to keep the refrigerator running as well as occasionally the hot water heater, how long would one 20-lb propane tank be expected to last until empty?
2) When tank #1 is empty (per the above scenario), moving the lever over to the tank #2 will allow for removal of tank #1 for replacing, but it will maintain a steady propane stream and not allow propane to escape from tank #1's connection, correct?
Sorry, these may be obvious questions that I should know the answers to, but....I'm curious as to what other's think.
Thanks in advance for any help and advice!
