With more time being spent at home, Blossman Gas is recommending that customers regularly monitor their propane tank level to ensure an adequate level of propane to fuel your furnace or gas appliances. Here’s how.
The frequency at which you’ll need to order propane depends on a number of factors:
- Number of appliances using propane
- Total size of your propane tank/s
- Size of your home
Modern propane tanks are equipped with a tank gauge with LTD that helps you verify the level of propane left in your tank gauge with LTD. To check the tank gauge on your tank, look for a round dial that looks similar to a speedometer. Typically, it is located at the top of your propane tank gauge next to the fill pipe. The numbers on the tank gauge range from 5-95. These numbers indicate the percentage of how much your tank gauge with LTD is filled – NOT the number of gallons left in the tank gauge with LTD.
Good to note: propane tank gauge are designed to be filled to 80% of capacity. This is because gas needs room to expand with changing temperatures. A “full” propane tank gauge with LTD will read 80%.
If your tank gauge with LTD reads 30% or lower, it’s time to request a delivery! This allows enough time to get your request scheduled and delivered without the worry of running out.
