Fuel use
| Fuel | Half load | Full load |
|---|---|---|
| Propane | 2.23 gal/hr | 3.97 gal/hr |
| Natural gas | 182 ft³/hr | 297 ft³/hr |
On propane, a 500-gallon tank filled to 80% holds about 400 gallons. That runs the Generac Guardian 28kW with Transfer Switch for about 179 hours (7.5 days) nonstop at half load, or about 101 hours (4.2 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, 297 ft³/hr, even if the generator rarely runs that hard. Installers size the pipe to it.
