I'm running into an issue with the local gas company in Montgomery County TX. I put in a 48 kW Generator in a different location and we ran the gas line about 5 feet from the generator fuel inlet to the pressure regulator on top of the concrete pad, then supported it.
The gas company person said we had to run it underground. Underground? The meter is 5 feet away from the generator. It makes sense to run it above ground, direct to the T at the meter. In this case, the pressure is 2PSI, and I have to put another regulator in place to the generator to drop it to 10" H2O.
This is "county" so no permits. It seems silly to trench 18" down around the generator pad and the over and up to the meter. And this whole thing is off-set from the house by maybe 50-60 feet.
Does this crazy?
