I wanted to get you guys opinion on an idea I have.
I currently live outside town and have 500 gallon buried propane tank buried beside my house and a 24kw propane generator already tied into the house. When we lost electricity during the recent storm the generator kicked on and ran fine for the 40 hours we lost electricity. The problem is our propane tank got down to 20% and I was concerned that I would run out and the propane delivery wasn't delivering. They are still backed up, only giving people 100 gallons to get them by until they can start their normal service.
I have an extra 500 gallon propane take behind my shop that I was going to make into a smoker. Now I'm thinking I'll put a small frame and trailer axle under it and have it full ready to go with regulator and a hose so I can pull it around and hook it into my house if my main take runs out.
I haven't worked out how to plumb a connection into my house to make this easy. I'm thinking I would need a shutoff to from my main tank after the regulator and some way to connect the new tank to the main line. I'm not sure what type of hose or flexible pipe would be best for this.
