Using your "quick" lookup stats. If what you found is true, and he only has enough propane for 2 days of use then he is royally screwed!!! Think about it... In a major disaster that requires a generator to kick in do you really beleive someone's going to get a propane fill in 48hrs?!?!?!?!?
The rules in northern MN aren’t applicable here. I would trust the Amerigas site and the installer.

48 hours is longer than any outage here that I am aware of. 48 hours is longer than I have. 48 hours might be a Florida requirement for certain care facilities and therefore a useful time to shoot for. 48 hours is a LOT longer than I would like to live without AC in a Florida summer.
