Propane bottle extension

[nickk]

and I've paid for it aswell .
why is that?

 

[brightspark]

not realy any need for contents on propane. u can feel by the weight of bottle . and can get refils on a weekend at most garages

not very convenient with a 47kg one chained onto a trolley, especially as the suppliers now charge for deliveries.

get a second smaller bottle then I have a few . I fill the smaller bottles of the large one with adapter I made

Propane regulators are inexpensive.. Get the proper one.
Its empty when you see a very low frost line or lack pressure the tank becomes light etc.

Couldn’t find an extension but found this

Adds another gauge to show content

Installed mine today’s ,it’s graded E - F,cylinders showing third full,so is that reading the pressure to give a contents or volume?

The clue is in the wording "gives an indication of the contents" as has been said before due to the physics of LPG it's impossible to get a regulator/gauge that will give an accurate reading of the contents.

The only accurate way to measure the contents of an LPG cylinder is by weight

It'll display closer to full when the sun comes out.

They are only a guide, based on pressure but it can be better than suddenly running out

The pressure will always be around 7bar at ambient temperature as long as there's liquid in the cylinder
