Powerstroke Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 So the price is the same if my tank is empty or half full? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRFISHBAIT Posted February 3, 2007 Author Share Posted February 3, 2007 Quote:So the price is the same if my tank is empty or half full? Yes. Until the propane companies come up with a better way for the retailers to measure the tanks accurately, it is the only way we can do it.However, we will do our best to tell you ahead of time approximately how full your tank is. I have turned away refills when I feel the tank is fairly full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey lee Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I have filled tanks before and yes it would take alot of time and you would never know how much was in there exactly. That is why I own three tanks. You can let one run low or out and always have another to hook up. I always have at least 1 full one on hand for these cold days.

harvey lee Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Andy, on your tank there should be a number stamped in the ring that will tell you the tare weight or empty weight. Now, weight your tank and subtract the tare weight from the total tank weight and that should give you tha weight of the propane in your tank.I believe this is the correct method. Full weight minus the tare weight = amount of propane in the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky12 Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 most all of the places I go fill by the pound, I will avoid any place that does not take the time to weight the tank to find out how much is still in the tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
