I'm in the process of doing a tank switch. My tank is a 500& they came

percent before they can move it By law In Ohio. Some one mentioned about
a float BS You can only have a pressure gauge on propane !

Propane is a liquid. The pressure in the tank will remain constant
relative to temperature until the last drop of liquid turns to gas so
a pressure guage is useless.

They do use pressure gauges for propane tanks, I had one. Once the
needle starts to go down it's at about 30% full.
