Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's so nice to know what's going on with the tank(s)

It's easy to know what's going on with the level in the propane tank. I have no connection problems or Blue Tooth readings. I use a different type of setup as I just want to know when the tank is halfway or low and when it's almost empty. I also didn't want to mess with the sensors under the tank. It's heavy and sits in the mud. Under the tank it gets wet from rain, snow and ice. The tank with the lifter with clips is simply buried in the mud. I didn't want to build a platform. So I placed two sensors in the tank to use. One is halfway down (the picture shows the top gauge on 40 lb tanks at about 1/3 during testing), and the other near the bottom has about 1-2 gallons left. That way I know when the tank is half or almost empty and when there's about 1-2 gallons left. - That's all I really want to know anyway. - It works great. When the propane level is below the average sensor level, it changes from 100% to about 50% or less. From this I know that the tank is half or lower. Know you only have a gallon or two left. - No need to worry about the floor or lifting the support brackets. - It works great and is easy. - Just move the magnetic pickups from empty to full and fill up the empty tank. Now rotate the tanks. The size of the vertical tank doesn't matter as you just need to know when it's half and almost empty. - See photos for more adjustments and details. I had a bad sensor and Chris at Mopeka was very pleased to replace it. It also works well in the cold as my temperature was in the single digits. - The battery indicator may show less and less as the temperature drops, but when it is around 50%, everything is good.
