Buy A Propane Tank Gauge, Save Money Using One

Summer cookout season is here and in full swing. Maybe this is a spur of the moment cookout or perhaps one that you have been planning for some time. You have all the food and drinks planned out, but have you bothered to check the level of propane gas in the tank? What could be more embarrassing then to run out of cooking gas in the middle of a bbq?

One way to prevent this from happening would be to install a propane gauge on your tank. The gauge is about 8 inches long and is installed between the propane tank and the hose leading to the grill. No tools are required to install it. Just unscrew your hose from the tank, and screw the gauge into both ends.

Two of the top selling ones over at Amazon is the GasWatch TVL212 Propane-Level Indicator and Safety Gauge and the Flame King YSN-212 Propane Cylinder Gas Gauge Meter .

Both gauges come with an easy to read colored dial that will tell you how much gas is left in the tank. By just giving a glance to the dial, it will tell you when you are out.
A great feature on both is the propane gas leak detector. This is an emergency flow limiter to reduce the flow of gas in case of a leak. Nothing worse than buying a full tank of gas and coming back to it the next day to discover you had a leak and see your money evaporate into the air due to a leak.
Both of these gauges get excellent reviews. The GasWatch gets 3.5 out of 5 stars and the Flame King get 4 out of 5 stars from customer reviews.
If you don’t want the embarrassment of running out of propane with people around you, take a look at these 2 gauges.
