How Can You Tell How Much Propane Gas Is Left In BBQ Grill Tankthink Has Something To Do With Pouring Water Over Tank And Condensation?
The best way to tell how much propane is left is to weigh the tank. Just slip the bathroom scales under it. The “Tare” weight or empty weight is stamped on each tank up on the handle area.Sometimes just marked with a “T” and then the weight. So if the empty weight is 18.5 pounds and the tanks weighs 28.5 pounds – you have 10 pounds of propane left. An average size barbecue uses 1 pound or so per hour. Tare weights are specific to each tank and each tank size so be sure of your own tank tare weight. This way you can burn it down to the last pound then go fill up!
