Why not call your propane dealer for a 'fill up'. After he gives you the
bill for how many gallons he pumped into the tank, you'll then know
exactly how much was in the tank before he filled it.

I might be doing a deal in which I buy the amount of propane currently in
the tank. I need a way to verify.

That would still work. The buyer or the seller can fill up the tank,
then you can reimburse the seller if he paid for the fillup, and take
possession of all of it.

You'r e buying the house next to it, yes? If you are just out there
buying propane as a business, you should probably find another guy who
does this and learn all the details.
