What type of propane tank does this use? Specifically what valve type does it accept

It can use any of those 2 lb propane tanks you see at Walmart, Kmart and the like. Several mfgs make those type, Coleman for one, and a few others, some come in 2 packs. Looks just like the one in the picture with the lantern. Just screws in, It is a standard valve as I have never seen any other type for these devices, works very well and provides a lot of light. Not sure how long it will last with one tank, depends on how bright it is burning but would guess it to be several hours.

It uses a 1 pound can of propane OR- I use a propane tree and a 20 pound bulk propane bottle (that a grill bottle)

I can't give you a specific answer other than to confirm that it didn't work for me either. It appears that the standard male connection on a propane appliance (a grill in my case) isn't long enough to mate with the valve in this connector. Sorry I can't be more help, but the issue of various standards for gas connectors is a bit confusing. bac

Yes, all U.S. standard propane fittings work. This is a perfect size for car camping, one tank will last all season

The generator comes with a connecting hose & regulator, similar to that used on propane gas grills. I don't know what connector is on 100# LP tanks, but the hose provided with this generator expects the same type of fitting found on 20# and 30# tanks... (I am using a 30# tank with the generator, as I have 2 spare 30# on the RV (~100# of propane, in easy to move cylinders...) My understanding is the 100# tanks are not required to have the newer style TYPE 1 OPD valve found on the 20# tanks used for BBQ's. Your 100# tank will liekly be POL or TYPE 1. If its POL (threads on the inside of the tank outlet, as oppiosed to threads on the OUTSIDE (TYPE 1) You need a converter like http://www.amazon.com/GrillPro-11051-Universal-Propane-Adaptor/dp/B0029T5U0A/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1421791690&sr=8-3&keywords=100+pound+propane+tank

John, This is an issue of choosing the required pressure regulator. The tank does not matter. Go look for a two stage propane regulator that can satisfy your flowrates.

no. this is designed for propane only. At least that is what the manual said.

It's only designed for propane and mepps, I believe. Acetylene/oxy torches require a different torch tip size to burn propane, so I presume the same is true in reverse. Besides this is a screw-on, to fit one use propane tanks.

it is designed to work on propane when used with a 0-30 PSI variable regulator. It might be possible to change out the orifice to convert it but that is beyond my understanding.

I don't know the difference. All I know is that it works fine with a standard 20 lb exchangeable propane tank.

It uses the regular old Coleman green 2 lb. propane bottles you find in the outdoors department of your local mega mart and they just screw on. Crack the knurled knob and flick the igniter near the tip then adjust the flame with the knob. Make sure the bottle is screwed on completely to depress the discharge valve in the bottle. 1 bottle should get you around the average sized yard several times before running out of gas. Shut the nozzle off, unscrew the bottle and hang the wand where it won't touch anything until it's cool.

I checked my manual. It specifies using a 16.4 ounce disposable propane cylinder. There is no mention anywhere of whether a larger propane tank can be used. It does say not to change the regulator assembly and I'm thinking to use the larger tank you might have to. I would say no to that. And the smaller cylinder lasts quite awhile so I'm not sure why you would want to .

You do need to get the small regulators. With mine I use my regulators for the acetylene and oxygen tanks. The acetylene regulator will fit on propane tank.

I don't believe so,this particular model is to be used with propane tank. However, you may want to research h NatureI don't think so,this model is to be used with LP tank. However,if you bought this model by mistake,you may look into a conversion kitNatural Gas conversion kit though.

I am using the standard grill tank. I can't see why you couldn't use the 40# tank if the connections matched. The only time you are using propane is when you are using hot water. Depending upon your application a 20# tank might be large enough. It certainly is for me.

I got this as a gift for my parents. They just use a standard propane tank. It works great.

You can use any size propane tank. I used a #20 tank for camping because it is a good size easy handling. I had additional hoses attached for use of my camp stove and lantern with no problem.

No, this is just the supply hose. To convert from propane you will need a new gas orfice.
