Propane tank gauge

Sidhalemm

Can anyone recommend a propane tank gauge?  I want to install one so I know how much fuel I have before I head out on a trip. Thanks

I'm interested in the answer to this question as well. I see there are gauges that measure by the weight of the tank and others that fit an adapter between the tank and the supply line. I'm not sure which type will work best and/or which one will fit best, given the storage container of the propane tank. Thanks for asking the question!

There was just another discussion about this in the past couple of weeks. Do a search on gauge and you'll probably find it.

I just attached this gauge which easily tells me the propane level without having to pull the tank and weigh/shake/guess the tank level after each trip.  Found it on trailer.com.

Have one of those myself - seems to be not quite as accurate when on the low side. It's temp sensitive so a temp change can all of a sudden drop it and you're out before you thought you'd be.

The gauge has HOT and COLD ranges but true temp correlation would be helpful.  We have gauges on our fire bottles in the planes that have temp ranges clearly marked, but the problem would be variation of pressure which would render true tank levels impossible. 

When the the gauge is halfway I swap it out and put the used tank on my grill or flame pit.  No fun running out, but we do bring a small propane stove and a mini grill and charcoal for those times.
