Should I just expect to pay per gallon or am I likely to encounter some sort of fill charge? You will likely pay a per gallon fee - but I have encountered places that will have a minimum charge of $10 or $15. It does "pay" to check first. That's what I thought. Is there any other way to gauge how much is left in a fixed tank apart from my instrument panel which just gives me a light telling me the 'general fullness'? I know they have those little strips that you can put on the upright tanks but I haven't seen any for a fixed tank. I know I'll fill up somewhere beforehand, but I don't want it to go "phhiiit" on me in the middle of Yosemite next month.
Hey G.W. I can't speak for everyone, but for us and almost everyone I know of, there is no minimum fill charge on non-removeable horizontal propane tanks. We charge by the gallon for actual number of gallons pumped. In addition to your on-board monitor, every such tank that I have seen has a level guage on the tank itself that can be read with the propane compartment door opened. They often stick and are not perfectly accurate, but I have found that a simple finger thump will often unstick them. Doug
QUOTE Is there any other way to gauge how much is left in a fixed tank apart from my instrument panel which just gives me a light telling me the 'general fullness' If you are referring to a fixed tank on an RV, there is a gauge on the tank. That is, in fact, a lot more accurate than the "light" inside the RV - which is almost always off.
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT IF YOU WOULD CHECK FLYING J WEB SITE YOU CAN FIND OUT WHAT PROPANE SELLS FOR IN YOUR AREA AND I FIND THAT IT IS MOST HELPFUL AND CHEAPER TO GET IT AS I GET FUEL FOR MY TRUCK

Invite him to sit down and have a cup of coffee??? And I've also heard that if he is coming in through a window he better have at least half of his body inside before you shoot him or he is considered still outside and not an intruder. Now that's goofy.
