wa8yxm didn't include the Mopeka in his list so that makes 5 types.
I have used the Mopeka for several years now. They are way more accurate than most of the others. I have made some modifications that have improved their operation considerably.
1. We don't use much propane so the battery life was less than I would have liked as the battery ran down before the propane needed filling. I modified the sensors with a remote battery holder with 2 AA batteries.
2. I made my own spacers which are bolted to the tank so they don't fall off.
3. I shimmed and added a spot of Velcro to the free end of the sensor so that it maintains good contact with the tank.
I have the mopeka system with the remote dual tank readout. As you mentioned and I also mentioned the system is accurate but not without some issues. Good idea, but takes some care and fussing to get it consistent.
