ABSTRACT:
A propane reserve system for providing propane fuel to propane driven equipment. The propane reserve system includes a standard tank and reserve tank interconnected by a supply network such that the standard tank simultaneously supplies fuel to the propane driven equipment and the reserve tank, if needed. The supply network generally includes a standard tank effluent conduit, a reserve tank inflow conduit, a reserve tank effluent conduit and an output conduit meeting at a junction and a plurality of vanes restricting fuel flow through the network. A flow restrictor coupled to the reserve tank inflow conduit cooperates with one of the valves to limit flow into the reserve tank thereby allowing the effluent from the primary tank to fill the reserve tank while also powering the equipment.
