    LP Powered Whole Home Generator

    I'll have to send pictures of the piping. Between the regulator and the generator, they installed a 2-3ft section of 2" pipe, which I believe is to have an extra volume of gas available for when the unit starts up. The only valves are shut off at the tank, before the regulator at the house and...

    When the "energy selling" folks ask if I pay the electric bill at my house, I tell them I have my own nuclear reactor. Typically, they don't know what to say after that.
