Propane question
 

I've got a 500 gal tank. How do you determine how many gallons are currently
in the tank?

Thanks

It depends on what you will do with the information.

If you want to ensure that you don't exhaust the supply, call for a
refill and note how much it took to bring it to the full condition.
Over time, you will be able to estimate your usage by month.

If you want to move it or dispose of it, pick it up and weigh it. The
fuel is about 4# per gallon, then add the weight of the empty tank.
Probably weighs less than 2 tons full (4000#).

The use of water to determine the level of the liquid fuel in the tank
could be useful, though the tank geometry will distort the result: the
first two inches of use corresponds to more fuel than the last two
inches since the vessel is curved.
