How To Hook Up 100 Propane Tank to Dual Fuel Generator
Question:
Hello, would this connect a 100 lb propane tank with a POL valve to a dual fuel generator? or am I missing something else? Thank you for your help.

A 100 lb propane tank will use a POL fitting so you can attach a regulator like the MB Sturgis Single Stage Propane Regulator part # 108072 using the MB Sturgis POL Propane Tank Connector Fitting part # 204051-MBS. Then, all you need is a hose to go from the other side of the regulator to the accessory. I don't know how long of a hose you need or what size fitting the accessory uses but what I can tell you is that one end will need to have a 1/4" NPT to thread into the regulator.
It looks like most dual fuel generators use a quick-disconnect fittings so part # 37207-31135 would work. I have attached other hose options below.
