I bought this in December 2009 to replace a very similar gauge on a brand new propane tank on my gas grill. I installed it exactly per the included instructions, hand-tightened only. The side with the black plastic cover is screwed onto the tank threads. Then the regulator is screwed onto the outlet side of the gauge. When I opened the valve on the propane tank, the gauge correctly indicates the tank is approx 2/3 full. However, no gas was flowing into the regulator. So, I called Camco on 22-Jan-2010. I was connected with a woman named Terry who explained that I must wait at least 2 full minutes for the gas to flow into the regulator due to the latest safety feature required on all propane tanks intended to guard against overfill. Therefore, I waited approx 5 minutes. Same result, no gas flowing into the regulator. I believe the outlet side of this gauge is simply not compatible with the fitting on the regulator of my grill. Therefore, I have no choice but to return this item.

Works as advertised. Outside temperature changes the reading greatly but that was expected. The only thing is that when the tank is almost out it doesn't give a good indication of that. I started grilling and it was on the border of green and yellow and then 15 minutes later it was out. I would expect to see it in the red at first but these things aren't perfect.

Bought this to put on the tanks of my RV so I do not run out of propane on a cold night. It seems to tell me when the tank is full and about half full and maybe even a quarter full but it goes from green to red with out stopnig in the yellow.

I have had several of this type gauge in the past but this particular model seems to work much better. We especially like the leak detector as my wife is not fond of propane to begin with.

Nice to know gas level in tank. Saves guessing and possible embarassment when grilling for friends. Expensive but worth it.
