Reading your propane tank fuel gauge is not complicated, but can be confusing. First, you must locate the gauge by looking under the dome of your propane tank. There you will find black numbers surrounding the circumference of the gauge and a pointer needle indicating a percentage.
Based on the physical properties of propane, tanks are considered full when the gauge reads 80%. This allows for any expansion of propane vapor. When your gauge falls below 40%, you should contact TG Fuels at 800-636-0009 for a refill.
Listed below is a handy chart to help you understand how much propane is in your tank based on readings from the gauge.
Letting your propane tank run empty may seem harmless, but it can create serious safety risks. When a tank goes empty, air and moisture can enter the system, leading to rust, fuel contamination, and potential pressure issues. It can also cause pilots and appliances to malfunction, requiring leak tests and system checks before service can be restored. To keep your home safe and your appliances running smoothly, always keep a close eye on your tank level or ask us about worry-free monitoring!
