Question:

Hi, I need to replace the regulator on my twin lp tanks, camper came with 2 30lb tanks. we changed to to 20lb tanks. In addition we have a propane generator that we want to be able to hook up directly to our tanks without haviing to remove a tank every time. Is there a way to safely do this without spending a fortune?

Helpful Expert Reply:

For a regulator you can use the Camco automatic changeover regulator, part # CAM59005. It will automatically switch from the first tank as it runs low to the second to avoid any interruption in gas flow.

In order to hook up the generator without disconnecting either tank you'll want to add in a T-connector in-line with one of the tanks. If your generator uses a Quick Disconnect fitting you can use # 103613-MBS or if it uses an inverted flare use # 103612-MBS. Both of the fittings also include a disposable cylinder port, which may also be useful for you.
