to further complicate things, i have seen "regulator oscillation" problems with
2 in series.

Alot of these generator setups need 2 regulators, so usually the regular
one stays at the tank, size the pipe for the flow rate ( just like wire
and amps.... ;-) .) and put the 2nd regulator right at the generator.

often in Mexico. I carry a manometer to make check the pressure at the LP
input to the generator with the engine running. Make sure it is
at/above 11" WC when it starts to act up. If the regulator is at the
tank, long vapor runs can cause too much pressure loss.

Hi Guys
We have had “icing” problems here in Central America as
well where the gas company put in ½’ pipe to a 12K
Gillette Generator, same description the gen would
initially start and run fine but then it went erratic the
Radian didn’t like it, the customer wanted to blame the
Radian (I was sure it wasn’t)
The installer/dealer couldn’t figure it out. I went out
and immediately saw the small pipe, plus they had
bent a crimp into the incoming fuel line as well. ¾”
line fixed the whole thing. LP has a lot of moisture and
will always have delivery problems with funky installation
of pipe. Seems that a lot of gas guys just hook up kitchen
ranges (Here)
Kind regards
