How Quickly Does Camco Automatic Changeover Regulator Switch to Different Tank

Question:

How quickly does it switch to the new tank? I need to run our refrigerator when Im not there so I need something that will switch very quickly to the new tank and not have a supply line loss of pressure for more than a few seconds. Will this item work for that? Thanks

I reached out to our propane tech contact and was told that for automatic changeover regulators such as the Camco Automatic Changeover 2-Stage Propane Regulator for Dual Propane Tanks # CAM59005 there is no actual time in regards to switching over.

It was explained that the auxiliary tank will take over and start supplying gas once the primary tank is empty enough that the pressure falls to less than the auxiliary tank. So the changeover happens based on pressure differentiation, if that makes sense, and there isn't a down time between the tanks switching.

I have added a link to a video review of this regulator for you to check out as well.
