How to Read Your Tank Gauge

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.
