The propane tank gauge is arguably one of the most important parts of a propane tank as it lets you know how much propane is currently available in the tank and helps you calculate how many gallons of propane remain. In order to allow room for gas expansion, propane tanks are considered full between 80-90%, depending upon the weather.
Weather and lifestyle choices heavily impact propane usage – which we think about when estimating your delivery schedule. And while we do everything we can to make sure you have propane when you need it, it helps to be aware of your propane use as well.
Use the table below to help estimate how many gallons your tank has available. If you’re concerned about your propane level, call us when your gauge is close to 20%, so we can make sure to schedule services for you soon.
