This RV had a gauge for the propane gas its like a small CB radio gauge it reads from E to F But there is no wire that I can find coming from the panel to the tank and no hook up on the tank.??? Anyone know how a gauge for the propane tank would hook up How do they hook them to a tank I think they would have to read from pressure and would have to be behind the regulator valve. Anyone know just how this works.
I think they are magnetic gauges. Behind the gauge is a float that moves whatever it is behind the gauge that makes the gauge read "E" to "F." If what you want is a remote indicator, you need to replace the gauge (just the dial) itself with one that that has a wire that is used to run to your remote indicator. I did this myself - finding the new dial was the hardest part of the whole operation.
I later broke the clips that hold the dial in place and, because finding a new dial is so hard, I finally gave up and it is duct-taped in place. It works... :)
