I don't think a pressure gauge is of any value with a propane tank. A pressure gauge is useful with a compressed gas, but not a liquified gas. With a liquified gas, the pressure will remain constant as long as there is liquid in the tank-in other words, the gauge will read the same until the tank is nearly empty. I know that big RV's have propane monitors, but I don't know how they work (weight? float and sending unit?). The EV Winnie has a gauge, but it is clearly not a pressure gauge, and I was never able to figure out how to read it. Surely somebody out there knows how these things work? Bill 87 camper.
