    Battery power for propane fireplace

    Most the battery backup for gas fireplace is like 6 volts (4 each 1.5V Bats), and all it does is allow the burner to stay on, no blower. The two fireplaces I have would help if power went out but things would get cold pretty quick without 110. But as to your question, maybe look at a 6V...

    Fuel Tank incorrectly labelled?

    Looks like @Joshto was last seen at 3:47PM today, so not that long ago. Why he has not tried to help fill in some questions is anyone's guess.
