Reading your tank gauge

The gauge is located under your tank hood. The needle will point to the propane % remaining in your tank. Letting your tank run out of gas is the #1 Safety Hazard. To prevent this from happening, you should enroll in O'Nealgas' Automatic Delivery System or call O'Nealgas when your tank reaches 30%.
