Propane gauge reader

Snap a clear photo of the percent gauge. We read the needle/display, then use your tank size and daily use to estimate gallons and days remaining (same 80% fill context as the manual calculator).

Propane safety: If you smell gas (rotten-egg odorant), hear a hiss, or suspect a leak β€” leave the area, avoid switches/flames, and call your propane supplier or 911 from a safe place. Do not use this tool to β€œcheck” a suspected leak. Gauges can stick; verify with your supplier before you run out in cold weather.

Fill rule context: tanks are typically filled to ~80% of water capacity (industry practice). Many suppliers suggest ordering before ~20–30% β€” confirm with yours. Manual propane calculator.
