Handy Prepper Item: Coleman Propane Fuel Gauge

[@jamesrecknor6752]

Home Depot now has these, branded Bernzomatic.

[@nwwoodsman2545]

I use my kitchen scale

[@totallyfrozen]

Not very portable

[@nobat6351]

@@totallyfrozen there are mini scales…at least you can use it for other tasks and not a dedicated tool.

[@rl8750]

Amazon has it.

[@kathyvaughn5546]

I purchased one of these today. I'm new at using propane. I figured it would help me along the way.

[@LouieLou998]

Harbor Freight sells a a device that lets you refill the small propane tanks from the bigger tanks for around $5. Definitely recommend

How to discharge the empty 16 oz propane gas bottles?

[@Dervishcolorado]

Easily found online, ebay, Amazon, ext.

[@Ultrajamz]

Yeah the MAP Pro cylinders are the tall yellow ones for torches

[@LovingAtlanta]

👍Thank you. 💝 Yes difficult to find😩

[@robertshinazy3055]

You're right this thing is next to impossible to find. Checked all the websites can't find it.

Sorry I forgot to put the link up its in there now but here it is Get One Here: www.walmart.com/ip/COLEMAN-FUEL-GAUGE/743288961

[@totallyfrozen]

Your local Walmart MIGHT have them in sporting goods during spring and summer when camping season starts. That’s the only time I’ve ever seen them

[@45ACP_9mm]

Pretty useful especially when bartering that way you know if that person is trading you a full tank for whatever item that person wanted from you.

[@Stoney_AKA_James]

Nice!

[@wild-radio7373]

I had no idea... 🤜🏻👍🤛🏻♡♡♡

[@MI_Prepper]

Actually picked a few of these up a couple of months ago. Good to see a review!

[@johnguy1612]

Have you reviewed the Flame King refillable 1lb propane tanks?

[@Iridium242]

No, but i will check into them, Have never heard of them before now

[@johnguy1612]

@@Iridium242 oh yeah they are great.

[@titanpreparedness]

Pretty neat gadget. Now the question is are those green cylinders refillable ive heard mixed opinions

[@totallyfrozen]

Technically, they are, meaning, they are physically refillable. However, it is a violation of federal law to refill one or to transport a refilled one. So if you do refill, just remember that any accidents you have will be on your own head and insurance will not pay out.

[@nmr6988]

This looks like a truly helpful device.

[@thesurvivalist.]

Tried to buy a few of those but walmart does not sell them online, and the nearest store is 300 miles one way, for a 5 dollar guage!

[@roberthutchins1507]

Amazon has a certified refillable 1 lb propane kit, that you can refill from a bulk (20 lb) bottle. Would love to see a review of that system.

[@totallyfrozen]

Aside from it being illegal (a violation of federal law), there are several refill kits available and I’ve heard pretty good things about most of them.

[@impermanenthuman8427]

Can you put something like petroleum jelly around the safety valve of a new tank to stop it from rusting and then leaking?

[@totallyfrozen]

As far as the relief valve, I don’t know. I’d have to research if petroleum jelly is safe around propane. Also, if a component of the valve is of a material that decays in the presence of petroleum jelly is a question. I don’t know what’s in there, nylon?

[@kevinjames2612]

Wal-Mart only sells these in store.

[@HarshmanHills]

Now that will go perfectly for my video i have coming up on refilling those cans

[@davidjones1393]

thks

[@dilligaf7321]

Great information there was a gauge at Bass Pro Shop that you could use to fill those tanks I had one and lost it sure could use it today freaking cold here in North Florida keep up the great work brother Godspeed

[@wanderingcalamity360]

Seems damn handy. Wish they had one for isobutane.

[@ljaysperspective1775]

Definitely a handy gadget...better to know when ur going empty then to find out at the moment.

[@vivianp5962]

I just shake it & guesstimate. Neat gadget but, thats just another thing i have to pack & worry about.

[@totallyfrozen]

They’re pretty small and light weight. Not much bigger than a cigarette lighter.

[@cstarr9318]

Not on Amazon like you said

[@totallyfrozen]

If you still have the packaging or instruction sheet, what is the model number of this item?

[@Iridium242]

Part Number ‎423676 Item model number ‎423676 Hope that helps

[@totallyfrozen]

@@Iridium242 Thanks. I have one of these. Just trying to find the number for searches. I bought mine at my local Walmart last year, but these are notoriously hard to find.

[@paulgroth3345]

OOPS, brass caps.

[@Diebulfrog79]

Great gadget, George. Great review. Check out my new video

[@paulgroth3345]

The tanks store better with a cap.
