Question: How long will an LP tank last in my gas patio heater? Answer: A standard 20lb. propane cylinder will provide anywhere from 9 to 15 hours of heat depending on which heat setting you use.
These small cylinders should not be used with any of World Marketing's installed gas products. One pound of gas will produce only 21,604 BTU's per hour; therefore a 30,000 BTU heater would deplete a 20 pound LP gas cylinder in under 15 hours of use.
