If you have a propane tank on your Cape Cod property or worksite staying on top of your fuel levels naturally comes along with the territory. This will help ensure that you have an adequate supply on hand at all times and prevent a run out, which is something nobody wants to have to deal with.
You can do your part in this by keeping an eye on and understanding your propane tank gauge. If you don’t know how to do this, allow Cape Cod Oil & Propane to help!
The good news is that reading the gauge on a propane tank is not particularly complicated. It is typically located at the top of a tank under what is usually referred to as the ‘dome’. A standard gauge is labeled with numbers that go in numeric order in a circle around the device. There should also be a single needle inside the gauge. The number that this needle points to and lines up with indicates how much fuel is currently in your propane tank in a percentage (so if the needle is lining up with the ‘40’ you know your tank is 40% full).
It is best to call for your next order of fuel for your propane tank before your gauge hits the 20% point. This should give you time to arrange a delivery without having to stress and worry about completely running out of fuel.
As a safety precaution, a propane tank should never be filled past the 80% point. This gives propane the room it needs to expand, which will inevitably happen as temperatures rise.
For those Cape Cod home or business owners who don’t want to have to worry about reading their propane tank gauges, Cape Cod Oil & Propane can take this on with our wireless propane tank monitoring services.
A wireless propane tank monitor is a device that connects right to a propane tank. It then tracks a customer’s propane levels in real time and sends that information directly to a propane provider like Cape Cod Oil & Propane. We then arrange your next fuel delivery based on that information.
Cape Cod Oil & Propane is here to help you get set up with the propane tank that works best for your specific needs. We will work with you to find the right size tank (we carry both aboveground and underground tanks in a range of sizes) that you can then either rent or purchase.
Once you pick a tank out, one of our expert technicians can seamlessly and smoothly install it on your property.
When you need fuel for that propane tank Cape Cod Oil & Propane has you covered there as well with our automatic delivery service or the wireless propane tank monitoring service we mentioned above.
