There are many ways to check your propane level; none are more convenient
then this inline gauge.
The only thing you will find in the package is the gauge and the
instructions. The
gauge will
fit onto any type 1 connection (this is standard on 20lb. tanks), itself screws
onto the tank and the hose screws onto the other end. In the center of the brass
pipe has a needle type dial with a 3-color background Red, Yellow and Green.
When the needle is in the green, you have plenty of gas, in the yellow you have
less then 3 hours left, Red you are about to run out. At a glance you will know
if you are low on propane.
This gauge can also be used as a leak detector, with the gauge on your tank,
open the tanks nozzle let the needle settle and close the tank nozzle. This
pressurizes the system, now watch the needle, if it begins to slowly drop you
have a gas leak.
If you grill with propane this is the 3rd tool you must have, right after tongs
and a spatula should be a propane tank gauge. There is also another version
available with an external LED readout if your propane tank is not easily
accessible.
