Does this generator have a gas gauge that shows the amount of gas remaining in the tank during operation?

Yes....On top of the tank. When full it will be completely red. As you use it the red will disappear so you can see how much gas is left in the tank. Hope this helps...Carl

Yes, there is a red needle float inside a sight glass at the top of the fuel tank. The amount of red showing changes with the fuel level

This is an outstanding piece of equipment. Yes there is an indicatory on the fuel tank showing amount of gas in the tank. Blackstone

Not at all. You don't have to disconnect the tank unless it's somehow fixed in place and can't move. The hook of the gauge slips under the handle of the propane tank and then as you lift it up off of the ground, it uses the weight of the tank to determine how full it is. I use it all the time, and my tank is just off to the side of my smoker so I can just hook it on, lift it up a bit and tell how much gas I have left.

Yes it does. It also has an indicator light that shows power is applied. At least my copy of this handy pipe heating device has these features.

NO, but the manifold holds a large amount of gas, I suggest shutting valve and using gas in line.

There is a fuel gauge? I have had this for a while now and hadn't noticed. The flame will weaken as the fuel runs out, which is when I usually refill it.

Hi there. Can you give me some idea of how large the tank is? The Propane GasGenie picks up small temperature changes in the tank wall as the gas is used up. If the tank is very large the changes could be too small to detect. Regards Peter

This is just a pressure gauge. The size of the tank is no consequence. Do note that liquid propane, like most gases that liquefy under pressure, does not vary its pressure according to the volume of liquid in the tank. So a full tank and a nearly empty one will show the same pressure. It will only start to significantly decline once the liquid is essentially all gone. The gauge is primary useful to confirm an empty tank, particularly one too large to conveniently weigh.

LPG is stored as a liquid, and the gas which comes off of the liquid is what is burned.I attached a 4 year old tank of propane, and the generator started after a few pulls.

Yes, it does have a regulator. It has two guages right on top, one for tank pressure and the other for output pressure. It has a dial to raise or lower the output pressure. Hope this helps

Not sure what you mean by reserver. The fuel gauge is a bit on the low side (more gas in tank than it shows).

The unit is still in for repair. The tank pressure gauge didn't work when I first pulled it out of the box. I would be very interested to see if I get an after market replacement gauge when I get it back.

So a full tank and a nearly empty one will show the same pressure. It will only start to significantly decline once the liquid is all gone. And at that point there can only be a few minutes at best before the tank is empty.

sorry, I haven't used it yet, it is for emergency to get gas from my truck for my generator when there is no power and there is no gas left in the gas containers.

It works by measuring the pressure in the tank- the higher the pressure, the fuller it is- and the gauge is calibrated accordingly. It's fairly inaccurate due to changes in temperature, but it gives a ballpark estimate on how much fuel is left. I like mine, although a scale would be more accurate.

I can't give you a specific number for gas consumption but it appears to be considerably less than the unit which it replaced.

I only use this gauge on a standard 20 lb. tank. It is simply the cheapest and easiest way of gauging the amount of propane still in the tank. You might have more luck with the strip that you paste on to the tank, which measures the tank temperature and indicates the fullness.

No, it doesn't and the "fill gauge" is mostly worthless because it blocks the escaping air. It might be useful for those folks who leave it hooked so they can see what the level is at a glance but when dumping tanks, it just makes it a slow process.
