How can you tell when a propane tank is empty?
There are three simple ways to tell if your propane tank requires an immediate refill:
- Hot water cool touch method: Slowly pour hot water down one side of your propane tank. Run your hands along with the size of the tank. If the water is warm at the top of the tank, it is empty.
- Gauge method: Attach the gauge between your propane tank and your camping gear and get the readings. Adjust the outside temperature to get more accurate readings.
- Weight method: If you have a scale with you, use it to weigh the propane tank. You will get an obvious answer.
