Ever wonder what those numbers on your propane tank gauge actually mean? Your gauge shows the percentage of gas left in your tank, not gallons. Most tanks are filled to about 80% capacity to allow room for gas expansion. As a general rule of thumb, it's smart to schedule a refill once you're in the 20-30% range, especially heading into cooler months when demand rises.
Knowing how to read your gauge is the easiest way to stay ahead of a refill and avoid running out. Questions about your tank? We're just a call away!
