I have a 90,000 btu furnace that i would like to install in my garage. I live in the city so there’s an ordinance against having propane tanks in town. However, a 100 lb propane tank is still considered a portable tank. I would like to run the furnace on the 100 lb bottle, but don’t know what type of regulator to get for my bottle. I tried a 30 lb bottle with a barbecue regulator and that just didn’t work. I was told there wasn’t enough volume in a 30 lb bottle but a 100 lb should work. I don’t really want to fork out the cash to get the bottle updated and filled until I find out what kind of regulator i need and if the 100 lb bottle will have enough volume. My garage is very small, about 15 X 25. not to be used to maintain the garage at a certain temp, just to heat it up when i want to work in there, and shut it off when im not working in there. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Terry.

Terry, While we appreciate your spirit, we do not recommend this as a DIY project. Furnaces that are not properly installed in a garage are particularly dangerous as gasoline fumes can contact the pilot light.
