Almost all Ressler Propane tanks have a gauge located on the tank. View the photos below to determine how to read the propane tank located on your property. Most propane tank gauges read anywhere from 5% to 90%. To determine how much gas is in your propane tank, multiply the outage reading by the capacity of the tank.

Answer: GAS Check® is an inspection program developed by the National Propane Gas Association (NPGA) and the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) and funded by PERC that provides guidelines for technicians on how to perform two different types of residential safety inspections: [links]

Answer: Wikipedia defines propane as "a three-carbon alkane with the molecular formula C3H8, normally a gas, but compressible to a transportable liquid. A by-product of natural gas processing and petroleum refining, it is commonly used as a fuel for engines, oxy-gas torches, barbecues, portable stoves, and residential central heating."
Answer: Propane prices can vary (sometimes) significantly between propane suppliers. So why the big difference? Well, for some propane companies, that's just their business model. Propane in the United States is supplied to most propane distributors from mostly the same refineries. This is partially responsible for the cost difference - transportation to the supplier. [links]
Answer: Propane tanks are most commonly referred to by their water capacity volume, and propane tanks are normally filled to 80% of its water capacity. For example, a 120-gallon tank will hold approximately 100 gallons of propane when completely full. Since propane is stored in a liquid state under pressure, it needs room to expand into a vapor. This extra "room" that is in the tank allows for that expansion. Depending on the ambient temperature outside, propane may expand more or less. more
Answer: Propane can be measured in a few manners. The most common way is by gallons. It can also be measured by pounds (one gallon = 4.2lbs). When measured in gallons, a meter at the pump is used to determine the amount of propane that has been filled into a tank. When measured in pounds, the tare (empty starting) weight of the tank must be known first. After this weight is taken into account, the tank is then filled to capacity with the correct volume. (i.e. A BBQ tank is commonly referred to as a 20lb tank. This is because these tanks hold 20lbs or approximately five gallons of propane). [links]
I have used propane for years with my barbecue grill, but I have never used it for heating a space. I know that there is an Ashland propane delivery provider for people who heat their space this way, but here I just went and got one when I was out. While at university many decades ago, I worked in construction, and we used propane heaters to make working in partially completed homes more comfortable in the winter. I went to Home Depot and purchased the propane heater shown in Figure 1. It is rated to put out 30K to 40K BTU/hr. This should provide enough heat to warm my garage so I can work in it comfortably. I like the fact that it is small, and I can easily store it during the summer. I have too much stuff to manage as it is, and I do not need any more big stuff.

I can compute the weight and volume of propane in this tank as shown in Figure 4.
When I hooked it up to my reg it said 700 psi. Seems kinda low to me. it as 1800 stamped on the tank but I thought the CO2 tanks were good up to 3500 psi. It looks like an aluminum scuba tank with a diff valve and I know those are good to 3000 psi or better. Did I not get a full one?
If this is a tank of CO2 ( it looks like it, though most I've seen are blue ) the pressure of around 700 is probably correct. CO2 is in liquid form like a propane tank. When the valve is opened, the pressure drops and the liquid boils off to form gas, when the valve is closed the liquid stops boiling and the pressure stabilizes. The pressure gauge will read the same until all of the liquid has boiled off, after that it will drop rapidly.
The tank looks to hold 20 lb of CO2.
