will this tank gravity feed empty witout a pump, what about a fuel gauge? thanks tim

Yes, it will gravity feed empty. My tank is a 40 gallon tank and I had to install an in line filter to strain the fuel before it entered the main fuel tank.

I purchased the installation kit with the tank: it has the shutoff valve, backflow preventer, vents etc. The tank does not need a pump - it is gravity flow. There is a gauge installed on the tank. With the tank emptying into the orginal vehicle tank - the vehicle fuel gauge will show full until the aux tank is empty. Although it is a 40 gallon tank - based on the location of the fuel line there will be approx 4 gallons left in the bottom of the tank.

It will empty part of the way the gravity feed isnt low enough to empty the entire contents. the fuel gauge is a little off from what I have seen, I have to add about 10 gallons before it will even reach empty.

Not that I know of but it you leave the grey open it will gravity feed after you get it started with the pump. Hope that helps.

Since there is no fuel pump you have to have your tank above the carburetor ,make sure when you squeeze your primer bubble that your pick up and vent line are submerged in fuel then pump all the air out , then your fuel should begin to flow.

I believe it will but you have to measure the depth of your tank if you want the gauge to read accurately,I did just have a problem with it though, I believe the vent is bad on it because my tank started to build pressure and pushed gas back through the overflow in the carbs and I had gas all over the floor in my garage.

I am sorry but I am not near my boat to measure it. I will however advise you that the fuel guage is a dip stick type thing with a float that extends 8 or 9 inches down into the tank and is attached to the gas cap. You need at least that much clearance above the tank so that you Can remove the cap to add fuel. I hope that helps.

Davedee, mine didn't seem like it seated all the way either, but it did. Don't expect it to gravity feed, you have to plug in and operate trigger to get flow (primed). It took quite some time to get flow going. I also took filter/tank out and poured white vinegar into the orfice where water gets sucked in machine which helped unclog machine and sped up the process. Hope this helps.

No...if its full of air... tank gauge should read bout 135 which is the factory cut off setting and your line guage should be set to at least 90 psi to run air tools

No gauge is needed, simply do not over inflate. I have no issues at all, very happy with the purchase. I have not as of yet had to adjust the pressure, do to over inflateing or the heat. Not to mention, this craft has no where to hook up a guage to check the pressure.

Hi - The best way is by weight (heft the tank) - unfortunately, no pressure gauge will give meaningful info. Perhaps you might consider using a fiberglass cylinder and then you can see the liquid propane remaining in the tank. Try this link to one of these Amazon's products: http://www.amazon.com/Ragasco-Clear-View-Composite-Propane/dp/B005DGG1SG/ref=sr_1_1?s=lawn-garden&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1382541713&sr;=1-1&keywords;=fiberglass+propane+tank or simply search at Amazon.com for "fiberglass propane tank" and read about them and perhaps select one to purchase. Sincerely, Bill York

i have filled the small one pounds size so you should be able to fill 20#tanks with this tank but will not fill it up all the way full look on ebay they should have a connector. the bad thing is the big tank has to be upside down for the gas to come out. hope this helps

It probably won't measure correctly. The idea here is that the gauge reads empty when it is hooked to the exact weight of a standard 20 lb. tank. Let's say that's 5 lbs. If your 30 lb. tank weighs 7 lbs. when empty, the needle on this would still read above empty. You could only really use this if you weighted your tank when it is empty and custom marked that as the new zero or empty value. Also, I don't know how well this would tolerate weighing your tank at full weight.

The tank is designed to only drain, not supply a hose. If you laid out the hose completely so it was always running downhill, you could drain it some distance away. But it's gravity only.

No....It is empty...Have to ensure that valve is closed and have a good power supply to let compressor fill air tank.

Carol, This has nothing to do with your fuel gauge reading wrong. Your problem is most likely the fuel sending float unit in the tank or a bad fuel gauge on your instrument panel. This only controls which tank you want to draw fuel from.

I used it to replace the fuel tank on my 2QM15 engine. The old gauge worked fine. I didn't have to change anything.

You have to use 20 pound tank . It comes with a 5 foot hose and regulator for 20 pound tank . You can get adapter to connect to 1 pound canister. I have mine set up to connect to my camping trailer gas supply . It work great any way you set it up.

You will need to remove your fuel tank and measure it. Also look carefully at the picture on here and make an informed decission. The tank has 4 screw holes on the narrow sides for securing the tank to the body.
