Propane Tips
Reading Your Propane Tank Gauge
Your gas gauge is located under the dome of your propane tank. The numbers go from 5 to 95 on most gauges and the number represents the percentage of gas in the tank. Due to physical properties of propane, your tank is considered full at 80% (allowing for expansion of propane vapor). These figures are approximate and can only be used to determine estimated gallons in the tank.
Number of Gallons Remaining
If gauge reads | 120 gal tank | 150 gal tank | 200 gal tank | 250 gal tank | 325 gal tank | 500 gal tank | 1000 gal tank |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
80% | 96 | 120 | 160 | 200 | 260 | 400 | 800 |
70% | 84 | 105 | 140 | 175 | 228 | 350 | 700 |
60% | 72 | 90 | 120 | 150 | 195 | 300 | 600 |
50% | 60 | 75 | 100 | 125 | 163 | 250 | 500 |
40% | 48 | 60 | 80 | 100 | 130 | 200 | 400 |
30% | 36 | 45 | 60 | 75 | 98 | 150 | 300 |
