READING YOUR TANK GAUGE

Your gas gauge is located under the dome at the top of the tank. Reading your gas gauge is easy. You’ll see bold black numbers encircling the gauge and a single pointer needle. The pointer will indicate a number that represents a percentage.

By nature propane expands when it is heated and therefore a tank that is filled to 80% is considered full to allow for the expansion of the propane. To ensure you don’t run out of propane, please check your tank’s gauge on a regular basis and contact APP Propane before the gauge reads less than 20%.
