Yah, what they said...
I leave one tank closed so when the other one runs out, RED indicator on the dial, I'll open up the other one and then turn the dial towards that one... Sometimes you have to reset the Refrigerator ON/OFF to get it to pick up the new tank...
I do this so I' KNOW when one tank needs to be refilled and I have the 2nd tank to run stuff...
I also, use a simple marker, red bungi cord to mark which tank is in use and flip it done to tell me it's the empty tank... I might not get to the propane place right away and I "Fergit" which one is empty... I know, just look at the pointer, but I like the KISS method...
Only negative is that when it runs out, you need, if you want heat, to go out and turn on/open the full tank and turn the valve to the full tank.
Typically??? hehehheh,
It's 0300hrs when it's c-c-c-cold outside...
You can do it your way in MS but when in MT in June and snow at night you will want to leave both tanks open, just in case one tank kicks in the middle of a cold night. Nice rig.
