Question:
Fittings needed to SAFELY connect: Champion dual fuel 8500 watt inverter generator model 201175 to an 100LB 23.x gallon propane tank having/with multi valve OR 2 100 LB propane tanks I decided: operating this unit at no more than 50 load - having at least 2 two 100 LB tanks is an better back up power solution. - NOTE: 201175 came with an 6 foot hose/regulator combination quick disconnect at generator - but found this in the manual: The LPG hose included with this unit works with standard 20, 30, and 40 pound LPG tanks. The following notation is provided by Champion - I admit not understanding the language, as follows: The generator requires ½ PSI with a flow rate of 152,000 BTU/hr. when under maximum load.

Hey Joseph.
There is not a dual tank regulator designed to work with your generator, but I can set you up with the parts needed to hook up to a single tank, and you'll have to manually move the hose from tank to tank if one runs out.
You'll use (2) adapter # 204128-MBS, one for each tank, and then attach an extension hose like the 10' # 100914-120-MBS or 20' # 1000914-240-MBS between the adapter on the tank, to your shorter 6' regulator hose champion sent with your generator.
