Flame KingPropane Tank Digital Scale for 5LB, 10LB, 20LB, 30LB, 40 LB Propane Tanks, (Black)

I got this as I use a hunting style propane heater in hard cold weather to keep our well pump house from freezing. I can't afford to have a tank run out. I use this to better manage the tank rotation. It's very accurate and easy to use. Not sure why it took me so long to get one.

This product works well and provides a very good estimate of remaining propane.The one glitch is that you shouldn’t leave the battery in it when not using it for a long time. I’m buying a replacement unit because leaving the battery in it over the winter months destroyed it. My mistake. It is a useful enough product to buy a second time.Other types of sensors (the ultrasonic one that attaches magnetically to the tank bottom; pressure sensors that attach to the valve connection) have not done a good job. The ultrasonic ones are great when they work but I was not able to get consistent readings. Always adding gel, replacing batteries, repositioning. The tank valve ones are useful for showing if you have enough fuel for today, but don’t really tell you if you have 1/3 tank or a full tank. Cheap spring scales usually have a display in an inconvenient place.

Scale works ok, would be better if it displayed weight of Tank

Love this. So easy to use.

Easy to use. Most accurate because it’s calibrated to weight many tank sizes. I’m satisfied.

bought on a whim.....seems to work accurately on different weights.

This is so easy to use, it's crazy. Just hook it to the propane tank, lift it, and it tells you, based on weight, how full the tank is. It seems very accurate and I like it a lot! Highly recommend!

First, the inline gauges that measure tank pressure do not work, I have had several over the years. They are NOT reliable, but I digress.Best method is to measure by weight and this scale is the only one I see that is readily available. I do have other Flame King products and I am extremely happy with them so thought I would give this a try.It works great. Selectible for tank size and easy to read.Quality control of the battery covers, I.E., remove and install - meh.Before you open them (the battery covers) realize that they are meant to slide out - see the arrows? You are supposed to press down on the arrows and slide the cover/s out. NOT lift up on the outside edge.There is a single, tiny week latch on the middle of the outside of each cover that will be destroyed if you just get frustrated and simply lift up and snap the cover out from the outside edge. If you do this - it will break that teeny, tiny little locking tab and the covers will never close right again.Good news is that the gauge works fine without the covers. If you break that little tab you can toss the covers or tape them closed if it bothers you :-)A great product/design with poor execution of quality control. The covers should be designed to press and slide off easily. I totally get the negative reviews in that respect.Just a few more cents of quality control and I would give this item 10 stars. The covers just stink, otherwise works fine. Even without the covers as the batteries fit very tight and won't fall out.

No more guessing if and when your propane tank is empty. The easy conversion from one size tank to another is bonus.

Works very well be aware reviews are correct the battery opening is very tight and prone to breaking .. be carefull

I like that i know exactly the level of propane in percent that is left in my 10 lb cylinder. It's much more precise then a pressure gauge which well indicates pressure that has nothing to do with the quantity of propane. No more guessing!!!
