[C320-list] Propane Tank Pressure

[Richard A. Walker]

Good Grief you must not use it much if you have not refilled it is 3 years.
The gage does not actually tell what is in the tank.  Its purpose is to show
to you that you are not leaking gas when the valve is off.

WEW refill our once a year or so, but that is with about 20-30 days cooking.

For a back up  MAGA, sold at WM, has a bronze fitting that will allow use to
use the small gas cylinders as an emergency supply if you run out of the
main.  If you are a serious cooker that are a must for about $12.00.

Cheers,

Subject: [C320-list] Propane Tank Pressure

Hello all,

I am preparing for an extended cruise on the boat and wanted to be sure I
have enough propane for many meals aboard.  I have never refilled the
propane since I've owned the boat (3 yrs) and have only now actually paid
any attention to the pressure gauge.  

My question is, what should the pressure reading be for a full propane tank?
I have 100psi now, is this good? Is this almost empty?  Any insight from the
sage gurus on the list would be appreciated. 

Thanks for your help,

v/r
