... appears to be stuck at 65% for months. We only use propane for furnace, which has run alot cause it's been very cold. This can't be right, can it? |

Use an ordinary magnet to confirm the needle is actually moving. If yes, then i'd read this quick article and consider your last fill date and avg temps since then: https://www.hunker.com/13415892/how-doe ... evel-gauge If something still seems fishy, then i don't know what to tell you. Call the pros, i guess. |

Just gotta call WHAT A relief. The guy came out and tapped on the underground propane tank with a metal bar and it moved the gauge. Apparently the float was stuck. It's at 19%. I have a very very efficient house. Most homes go through well over 500 gallons with furnace alone in a winter. I'm so happy right now. Gonna wait to fill it when the prices drop this summer. |
