How to know how much gas a bottle has

Let’s look at the gas level in the cylinder as follows:

  1. First of all, we turn on the kitchen and heat water, for example. The idea is that the bottle is in use to carry out the test.
  2. Then we fill a bucket with a little water and pour it all over the bottle.
  3. We immediately let about 10 minutes pass and we can see how the tank shows a stripe that dries more quickly. Well, that stripe is a clear indication of the level of gas we have in the tank.

A very simple but highly effective method that we can apply at the first opportunity we have!

Tricks and tips

Another simple method that can help us a lot to know if there is gas in the tank is to weigh it if we have the possibility of having a scale at home. In fact, our personal scale can be used to do this, you can do a simple calculation and deduce if we still have gas in the bottle.

It is important to keep in mind that numerous bottles of various materials circulate and therefore the weight can vary to know exactly the correct weight of each gas tank, with the purpose of deducing whether we still have gas or not.

However, if we let ourselves be carried away by an official and recognized firm, it tells us that each bottle contains a weight of 10 kilograms of LPG product, meaning that the total weight of the bottle is approximately 22 kilograms including the weight of the container.

Therefore, with this data an approximate calculation can be made to know if we still have gas in our container.

How do you know how much gas a bottle has?  As we saw previously, we simply use the method of wetting the tank or container with water, which will clearly indicate the level of consumption so far.
