Subject:      Re: propane gauge?


W. Silva, while I have never seen an actual guage to measure propane I 
have seen a simple device that sticks on to the side of the tank.  It 
reminds me of one of those battery tester strips, I think the sticker is 
temperature sensitive.  It only gives a visual readout (not a measured 
amount).  I've only seen them, no feedback (sorry).
Have you tryed "bleeding" the gas lines by letting both stove burners 
burn for several minutes?  This helps w/my dometic (when it hasn't been 
used in a long time).  Hope it helps.
