The wheel bearings should be just tight enough that they don't have any
play when you jerk the rotor.
An extra 1/4 turn on the nut doesn't hurt.
As for grease, I normally load the bearings up and put a finger full in
behind each bearing. The wheel bearings need to be checked each year and
re-lubed. I use disk brake bearing grease.
Checking Butane: I've seen little strips that go on the outside of the
tank that give a pretty good idea of the fuel level, about 2-3$.
If you've got doubts about pressure just turn the bleeder valve and see
if you've got pressure.
Most times the stove top burners will continue to work long after the
refrigerator has stopped. The refrigerator has safety devices that
require more pressure.
