Wow, so would you need a small expansion tank to dampen that out? IS that even allowed on LPG? What was the cure?

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.

    Ditto Tom, seen this too 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
