Howdy,

When we go into the wilderness areas of our great country and take our propane tanks with us, do you ever wonder how much fuel you have left from the last camping trip or cooking session? Well you know there is an easy way to see the level of propane in a current tank.

Just warm up some water and pour it on the side of the tank. Since the gas (juice) is liquid and cool, the water's heat will cause the tank to form condensation at the current level of the propane. I do this before any cookout so I can get propane before the guests arrive rather than the last minute dash.

And another suggestion. Write the empty weight and full weight on the tank with a permanent marker next time you get it filled. When you put it under the barbeque, keep it sitting on top of a ratty old bathroom scale, that second hand stores always have too many of. You'll know precisely how full the tank is at all times.

Just thought I'd suggest. Thanks for looking and thanks for allowing me to spend a little time with you. C & C always welcomed.

Good tip on the weight. Thanks for sharing
