I have a propane generator and it is not going to run very long on a
15 pound tank (AKA 20 but never true). My 5.5 KW burns 0.8 gallons an
hour. A "grille" tank would last a little over 4 hours.
I had one filled, and weighed it. 36.6 pounds - the tare weight (16.6) =
20 pounds of propane. Another tank held only 19 pounds, still a lot more
than the 15 you get at exchange places.
