Can propane gauge be installed inside?
Hi gang, Has anyone ever installed a propane pressure gauge inside to be seen? My tang has a gauge on the tank, but it's really hard to get to & read. I also have the 1/3-2/3 sensor inside, but that...

Alas you are not going to like the answer I will give you but it can not be done.
The pressure in the tank does not change as the tank empties, it goes down very swiftly when the tank is empty, All but no warning, What you will see on a remote pressure gauge is more related to outside temperature than volume of propane in the tank.
It is possible to design a gauge that can be read remotely,, I could do it easily, takes basically two parts and a bit of support electronics, but the industry has not done so..
(If anyone has the ability to make gauges ask and I'll run off the basics for you, about 3 paragraphs)
The only way I know to do it given what is out today is a strain gauge on the tank mounts (weigh the tank) and .... I do not think that is practical for a Class A tank,, For class C and trailer tanks that sit on a floor it would work.
