You know, Mark's question does bring up something I have been wondering about for some time: How is it that, here in the 21st century, no one has yet been able to figure out a "gas gauge" for propane tanks? I know you can weigh a tank to know how full it is (if you know its empty weight), but that's kind of hard to do with a Westy tank. I always feel a little stupid wandering around without a clue about how much propane I'm carrying.
