How full is my propane tank?
Has anyone figured out how to measure the amount of propane in the propane tank? While running the propane fridge, and cooking on a cross-country trek, I was never quite sure when I needed to refill the tank. I ran out a few times and even though I switched to 12Volt, our food spoiled in the heat. Conventional BBQ tank measurements go by weight, which obviously does not work, on a vehicle.
I also had trouble with a sticky fill valve, which has caused some LP fill guys believe the tank is full even though I know it is not.
