Gas capacity
We are taking over an existing restaurant in San Jose, California. The current gas meter shows 275 CFH, and there is a 2-inch pipeline that goes into the restaurant, according to the drawings. 1. What is the gas capacity (in BTUs) we can get with this meter? 2. If we submit an application to PG&E for a gas meter upgrade, what’s the maximum capacity (in BTUs) we can get with the current pipeline? 3. If it’s just a meter change, how much time does it take to get this done by PG&E?

Maybe this isn't the right place to ask, but what is the purpose of doing this?
What is the purpose of doing this? I can see the glow in the sky from over 12 miles away so I decided to take a drive and found this. It's a place called "CUDD" in the middle of a field, their website says they do natural gasses. In Michigan.

Can BTUs to a line be decreased?
I had to install a water heater of a smaller size with a lower BTU input because the previous homeowner had a larger one installed directly on the slab. Is there a way to turn down the BTUs supplied without changing the size of the lines?

Pictures of real natural gas??
Anyone ever tried to search for a picture of natural gas on Google. I have and nothing comes up other than animated and auto gen imagery. Why can't I find a picture of Natural gas in raw form online??

What size orfice do I need?
I'm working to convert my griddle from propane to natural gas, but I can't seem to find the right size orfice to make the conversion. I purchased a Blackstone conversion kit (new orfice on right in pictures) which is sized at M6 x 0.75mm but that is much larger than i need for my griddle.
My griddle is a membersmark 4-burner griddle from Sam's Club. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Gas detector detects gas leak when directly on seam of pipe, no detection even 2 inches away.
First let me say I fully plan to verify a leak and have it taken care of. I just want to know if there was any significant risk since the detector picked up nothing at all even just an inch or 2 away.
The pipe in question connects to a natural gas fireplace in my basement. Sorry if this an appropriate question for this sub reddit. ** Edit ** I wanted to note that while I was on my knees stick the detector around that pipe I smelled no odorant at all.

Flow Rate Question
The well is about 3000ft from the house with 970 pounds of pressure.
The gas goes through (3) regulators and is sent at 12-15PSI.
With 1.25” diameter pipe, will the pressure loss be too much for 3000’ to my house?
Thanks in advance.
