You don't have to guess how much propane is left in your tank anymore. This gas gauge lets you see at a glance when your propane level is low. It also detects leaks.

Today we're going to be taking a look at the Camco Propane Cylinder Gas Gauge and Leak Detector. This gas gauge shows you when you propane cylinder is low. It's going to indicate when you have leaks. It's going to fit all propane tanks manufactured after 1995 and it's going to use type 1 connections for gas grills, RVs and boats. This unit installs between the regulator and the propane tank it does not require any tools. Overall length, pretty compact design.
It's going to measure right around 4 inches long. When it comes to the connects on this side you're going to have the acme nut on one end, this connects to your propane tank. You're going to have your acme thread and female POL on the other end that connects to an acme nut or male POL connector on your regulator. This does provide thermal protection in case of fire and excess flow protection in case of a broken gas line. Now on the dial you're going to notice 3 different colors. You're going to have the green area which means that you have a good amount of propane in your cylinder.
You're going the have the yellow area, that means that you're approaching low levels, and you're going to have the red area. That means that your cylinder should probably be refilled. Now I also want you to keep in mind that air temperature can affect the rate of propane use, so you'll notice that this unit references cold, cool day, and hot day. So when checking the dial for the propane level be sure to read the colored area that corresponds to the air temperature that day in order to get the most accurate readings and information. Now to use this as a system to check for leaks, you want to make sure that your propane cylinder valve is closed and that the burner controls on the appliance are off. Then you can open the cylinder on the propane tank.
Excuse me, open the propane cylinder valve to pressurize all the lines that's connected to your appliance, and then after a few second close the cylinder valve. If you do have a leak you'll actually notice the needle on the unit moving to the red area of the dial. That's going to indicate that you do have a leak somewhere in the system and then you can check for leaks. The unit does come with detailed instillation instructions. It's also going to walk you through basically what I just explained on how to check for leaks and it's also going to show you how to locate a leak. That's going to do it for today's look at the Camco Propane Cylinder Gas Gauge and Leak Detector..
