I recently bought a house that has a 65 gallon LPG tank for the stove &
outdoor grill. I'm trying to determine how full it is. It has a
pressure
guage that shows about 18 PSI at the moment. Given that the guage goes
up
to around 100 psi, I'm guessing this ain't toooo full. Am I right, or
can
you tell from the pressure reading?

TIA

my 250 gal tank has a gauge, that really is a % full gauge. They only
fill it to 80%. Don't know if your small BBQ tank fits the same
guidelines.

They are only filled to 80% so that when the tank gets hot the propane
inside has some space to expand to.
