On propane, a 500-gallon tank filled to 80% holds about 400 gallons. That runs the Generac Guardian 10kW with Transfer Switch for about 426 hours (17.8 days) nonstop at half load, or about 250 hours (10.4 days) at full load. See how much propane a generator uses for other tank sizes.

On natural gas, the gas line and meter have to deliver the full-load figure, 132 ft³/hr, even if the generator rarely runs that hard. Installers size the pipe to it.
