Gas bottle.. Silly question??

[Martinb]

Hi all,
Don't know whether this is a silly question or not, but is there any way of finding how much gas I've got left in my gas bottle? I've been using it for over 2 years now and it just seems to keep going! Don't want to be caught short next time I go away, also don't want to replace it with gas left in it!
Cheers Martin

You can buy a level indicator from JK that is magnetic and sticks to the side of the bottle. You could always take it out and give it a shake :lol:

Take it out and weigh it?

I think I've seen somewhere,on the web, the weights of full and empty bottles

try googling the dry weight of the bottle then weighing it. Caravaners are a bit anal about exchanging gas bottles with some left

 

[robjarman]

each bottle should have a tag securely attached/welded, which states the dry weight of that specific bottle as manufactured - subtract that from the actual weight of the bottle and the max fill capacity....

Those magnetic gas measurers are shite.

^ what he says, they don't follow the contours of the bottle. Lift and swill is the best way to tell.
