This is how you determine exactly how much propane is left in your tank. #shorts

All you need is a cup of hot water and pour it in the side of the tank and look for the frost line.

It's closer to 3/4 than 7/8. No need to estimate if you've already weighed it. You're missing 5.5lbs of propane from full. 5.5 = 27.5% of 20. 100% - 27.5% = 72.5% propane left. 7\8 would have been closer to 87.5%

You can use a bathroom scale also.

For anyone who doesn't know, tare means the weight of an empty container.

Apparently the creator doesn't know that since he included the tare weight in his fill calculation.

Why not just place the tank on a regular weight scale? There's no need to buy a hanging scale.

You can do that too. I use this scale for fertilizer application also

Idk about other places, but blue rhino only puts 15lbs in

Exactly. So they could keep the cost down

@theguyofalltrades well that was instituted after a relief valve failed and the tank ruptured and nearly burned down a plant. Their investigation concluded that with the temperature increasing, the liquid attempted to turn to gas increasing the tank pressure to the breaking point, and then the relief valve failed to relieve the pressure resulting in the tank rupturing when being moved and the forklift moving it igniting the escaping propane.

No reason you couldn't use a bathroom scale right? Just less accurate?
@theguyofalltrades10 ай бұрын
Yup sure can. I know some scales won’t read under a certain weight though

I usually open my tanks up inside the garage, and if my wife can smell it, I know it's got something in it.

that math you doin is kinda goofy my friend. if 38lbs is full, -18= 20 38-34=4 4-20 =16 lbs of propane 16/20 reduced 4/5ths full
@michaela607310 ай бұрын
Where did 34 come from? It’s closers to 3/4 with my math but I’m pretty dumb
Still wrong. It was 32.45. (32.45 * 100)/38 = 89.394 4/5 would be 30.4 pounds
@JRowan18010 ай бұрын
@theguyofalltrades I love the video, but you both are doing the math funky. (32.45*100)/38 doesn't account for the tank weight. I only want to know how much propane I have. 32.45-18=14.45 14.45/20=.7225 That tank is 72.25% full or in fractions is just under 3/4 full.
