Running a low hour 70kw 1800rpm Cummins Gen set at about 75% load on a 1000gal propane tank.
Tank is also supply propane for 4 200k btu boilers running full time. Separate supply lines and high and low pressure regulators for generator and boilers.
In a power outage now from snow storm, relying on generator, Last night at 4am generator faulted “under frequency” and shut down. Propane tank level at 55%
I am assuming starved for fuel, sputtered engine, and turned it self off. My only thought is as tank got lower and air temps hits the high 20s F, the tank froze?
Any ideas or tips? Running now during the day, I lowered the electrical load by half.
