What does 1/2 reading on LP Gauge mean
I understand my 28 gal lp tank can only be filled to 80% (22.4 gal). So when I read the guage on the tank and it indicates 1/2 (approximately) does that mean 1/2 of 22.4 or 1/2 of 28? Thanks

It depends somewhat on the gauge and the shape and mounting of the tank (for a float gauge). I don't think most of the ones on horizontal tanks are calibrated much to the changing geometry of the tank, for instance, so the middle quarters are bigger than the top and bottom quarters. I also think mine shows circa 80% after filling (so it's percent of water capacity), but I am not completely sure of that.
To me, 50% means I don't have to start thinking about buying propane yet.
