how long will a tank of gas last?

I would say a month. We have it at a rental property and it is used almost daily and the tank lasted a month :)

As with any question, depends on the size of flame. We typically have it over 1/2 to 3/4 high level and were very surprised at run time. Nice size flame. I don't have actual hours per tank, but I would estimate maybe 15-20 hours of run time depending on setting. Wide open, maybe 8 hours. Side note. We used the supplied cover that came with unit. Bad idea on a deck in full sun/Chicago. Damaged finish on top wood grain metal surface. Contacted company, no response. Sanded and painted over myself and purchased an nicer cover on line. No issues now. Otherwise, very happy. Many compliments.

We used about a tank and a half from last fall into early spring. Used 1-2X per week for 30-45 minutes at a time.

I have had three fires so far lasting about three hours each time and I am about 3/4 full now on 20lb. tank.

Only if you get the propane model (LP) If you hook propane to a gas model you will burn your houes down!!A small tank wont last to long I dont know how long.

On the high setting it burns about 1 pound per hour. Medium is half of high. Low is half of medium. So two 1-pound tanks will last 2 about hours on high, 4 hours on medium, and 8 hours on low.

According to the instructions, they will last 30-40 fillings of the tank. In my case it is about every 3 months which is similar to the older filters.

It will last about 7 to 10 mins. in a full tank....has a rather small tank.

The output is variable so it really depends upon how much vapor you have coming out of the unit. A full tank can easily last a full day and night.

A standard size propane tank (like one on a bbq grill) will last right around five hours at a medium-low setting. Depending on how your firepit is set up (style of pit, location of burner, how far away the tank is located) will determine how much insulation - if you need any at all. This kit comes with a very long propane feed hose, so I would suggest you set the tank a distance away and place it in it's own separate enclosure. I do not use an enclosure and no insulation since my tank is six feet away and behind a brick post. I would advise you to separate the tank from the burner if possible. A single enclosure would likely be fine if it's designed (and properly insulated) for the purpose. When you're using consumer trade-in tanks, you never know if any damage has occurred to the new tank by the previous user. I have installed new tanks and discovered later they had been leaking due to damage to the connection threads from a previous user and that could create a dangerous situation if the tank were in an enclosed unit. It's a good idea to keep around a wrench and a roll of plumber's teflon thread tape to seal any leaks that might come up.

Well. Obviously it will last as long as you run it to a degree. I have used my two for a season now. I thought I'd use it equally in the fall as the spring but I used them mostly in the fall and hardly any in the spring. I'd say I used about two tanks per heater for the fall with fairly heavy use. When you entertain on a patio burning both on full you'll burn more fuel but many times it's just my wife and I drinking coffee or reading for a spell with them turned back a bit. I do not harbor any sentiments that I've bought two gas hogs. No more than a gas grill.

I haven't actually used up a large tank yet but I've run the cap fire at 2/3 to 3/4 for 3-4 hours and used maybe a third of the tank. This puts out a lot more heat than most so it'll use up the gas but I've never needed to run it full blast.

I often use the table's tank as a back up when my bbq tank runs out so not not really sure, Sorry don't have a firm answer for you, seems to last a fair amount of time. btw, the table is extremely well made and thought, I'm very happy with it, that said, even on it's highest setting it does not generate that much heat, it's more atmospher then heater. This due to the large perimeter around the flame, the bonus side of which makes it possible to actually have plates and drinks on the table when the flame is on.. best, Michael

hey John,I have been using this stuff for a while now. I haven';t had gas longer than 3 months in a container and it works fine. the label states that it keep fuel fresh for up to 1 year however I assume it;s the conditions that you keep the gas in.If you have the gas in crazy conditions( hot or cold) i doubt the gas will make it to a year. i would say 6 months is a safe bet.

Our heater will last about 8 hours on a gallon on a low setting which keeps our 2000 square foot ranch home (our home is very open). We clean our wick about every 2 weeks). Using a high setting will really use up the kerosene

Yes it is gas not sure the run time on a tank full least 8 hrs I would guess

a bottle of fuel would last at least 2 weeks used every single day but probly more like 4 weeks. not expensive for fual and flint man ronsonol fuel is cheap and good and flint is cheap too...i have this thing and love it to death in the winter...if you want to save fuel what i do when its not in use is pop the element off and put saran wrap over the top of vent and rubberband it so the gas doesnt evaporate out.

Supposedly, you should add it to your tank and drive about 15 miles. They suggest 1 bottle for a quarter tank of gas. As the gas is burned, the fumes are supposed to clean out the honeycomb thing that is inside of the catalytic converter, BUT it didn't necessarily work for me. I learned that once the catalytic converter starts to go bad, the pieces inside start to deteriorate, which is not something that this product can fix.

No but gets the most amount of time per gallon of gas. A full tank 7 gallons runs for a good 14 hours

Depends on the wine. For whites, I use the gas and keep it in the refrigerator; can last a couple of weeks. For reds, I use the gas and put it back in the cellar can last for a little more than a week. Works GREAT with oil and vinegar at room temp for a month or more.
