Customer Reviews

Peace of mind worth the price.
I have used magnetic stick-on type propane cylinder level indicators before, but they are a bit "glitchy" and hard to read/interpret under different outdoor temperature conditions. This device provides more reliable certainty regarding actual remaining gas (volumetric) level.

There are similar looking products out there, but they seem cheap. Check the packaging and pictures. This version (GasWatch) appears to be the real deal and is not excessively expensive.

Not the greatest
I purchased this product and am not that impressed. It is really just a pressure guage with some colored zones on it. It doesnt give you the greatest indication of the amount of fuel left in the tank. It does work, and as the needle indicates lower, obviously the tank contains less LP but it isnt that accurate. With the tank valve shut, the pressure will go up and indicate "GREEN," making you think that you have a lot of fuel. But when you turn on the grill and the pressure drops it indicates "RED" and you could run out of fuel before you cook your food.

Use this gauge as a general indication of tank level only, dont expect the greatest results. Take the $20 that you would spend on this device and apply it towards purchasing a second propane tank. That way if one tank runs out you have another to replace it with while you go and exchange the empty. You'll always have propane!

OK, but
I got one of these hoping to use it on my weber grill that has a small 10lb propane tank to help light the charcoal. It doesn't read at all on this tank. I moved it over to a propane heater with a standard size tank and it appears to work just fine but unfortunately the extra 3 1/2" it adds to the hookup means I can't close the door of the cabinet that holds the tank. If neither of these things creates a problem for you it seems to work fine.
