How to Check Your Propane Tank

If your propane gas gauge reads 20%, there is plenty of time to refill your tank.

We carefully select the right size propane tank based on your estimated usage and need for propane delivery.

The 20% ensures that we have more than enough time to refill the propane gas tank. If your gauge reads lower than 20%, you are welcome to call us to make sure that we have your propane delivery scheduled.

Weighing Your Grill Tank

An empty 20lb tank will weigh around 18-20 lbs.  A full tank will weigh between 38-40 lbs. Most people do not know how much gas they have until they run out. The best way to ensure you never run out is to always have a full spare tank.
