  • Distance from tank to generator too long?

    From Bill Low@21:1/5 to All on Tue Feb 14 13:26:39 2023
    I have a Generac whole house generator (22 KW) powered by a buried 500 gallon propane tank. This is a relatively new installation, and I have been getting various errors when the auto test is activated. The most recent was error 1100 - over crank. I
    am concerned that the distance from the propane tank to the generator might be too long - it is about 100 feet.

    Any comments?
