IMO, the gauge isn't to determine exactly how much propane there is, but rather to determine if you are getting low enough that it makes sense to refill now instead of waiting until you actually run out.
For that purpose, the gauges work well enough.
I have to ask why? I treat my two 7 Gallon (30#) tanks as one 14 gallon (60#) tank, when auto cutover happens it is tome to get a fill up.
Why take in a partially full tank to have filled, I personally think doing that is a waste of mine and the attendants time and effort.
How is it a waste of time - it's no different than filling your vehicle fuel tank when it's half empty. If I'm going for a short time, then I may wait to fill. But if I'm going for a couple weeks or more, I'd rather start full up then have to worry about driving a couple hours on curvy mountain roads to find a place to refill because I needed that half tank's worth.
