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?

Over the years, I have seen proper propane  level gauges on Westys imported
from Europe that were built to European  specs.  These gauges were in the tank,
they are mechanical level gauges the  same as we have in our fuel tank, the
tanks are not the same as our  Manchester tanks and the tanks were also inside
a metal box with a locking door  for access.  More trick stuff we were not
permitted to have in North  America !
