Even north of fairbanks Propane does not have much of an issue. Insulate
and enclose for success.
I use a 1500 gal tank so I can get the 1000+ gal discount. They even
apply this discount to my home propane purchases for the rest of the year!

In my case, the propane was in various sized tanks from 100 gal Pig
tanks to 1000 gal tanks depending on access. The most remote ones we
used 100 gal pigs (14 per site ) and used helicopters to fly the
propane. Made for more trips but the cost of the helicopter to fly big
tanks was horrendous.
Tanks were out in the weather but the lines and regulators were either
in the shack with the TEGS or covered and insulated. Average winter
temp without wind was about --10 F dipping to about --45 F. Not sure
what the wind chill was.
The people that bought the system augmented it with solar and wind
(varying success with the wind as they could not keep impellers in the
generators). It has been a couple of years so I am not sure of their
present configuration or success.

No, it's in tanks that are the size of a medium sized car... outside.

Is the propane in a heated environment?

Yes, it DOES matter how cold it is.
Propane won't create gas pressure below -43.6F and many propane
gas pressure
regulators will ice up and stop working below about +20F.
This isn't a problem for many locations but it is still important
to know
what the limits are.

I had 5120 TEGS powering 7 mountaintop sites for about 8 years
before I sold
the system. As long as there is propane, they work. No moving
parts, very
little maintenance. It doesn't matter how cold or hot it is, they
just work
. Simple power that provides heat for the radio shack as well.

Who was this from?
Remember there is ZERO maintenance on a TEG.
