Do I have to disconnect the tank for this to work?

As long as you can get to the tank and lift it straight up I think it should work fine. My tank happens to be in a patio heater and I have to take it out to use this gauge, thats why my tank has a gauge on it. I have used it to make sure the gas vendor has filled the tank. I hope this helps. Chuck

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.

You have to be able to lift up on the tank for the gauge to be able to determine how full it is. So, if you leave it connected, the connection would have to be loose so it wouldn't hinder the measurement.

I would say no, but you will have to take the weight oh any hose and regulator into consideration. They won't add that much weight. I would suggest that you weigh a full / or empty tank with and without the hose and reg. that will give you a good starting point.

Yes. I have it connected on my RV between the house tank and the regulator. Connect a second tank to it with a separate hose. Turn house off 2nd tank on. Easy!

You do have to unplug. unplug before removing from liquid, or it will blow!

No, this pump will keep pumping until it burns up. Or gets the power shut off. You'll have to have some sensor in the tank to shut it off

I have not had that shut off problem but remember it has two tanks. It will run until both tanks are empty.

Yes, you remove tank to fill it. Don't know about leaving it running, I wouldn't try it. I'm sure instructions say don't do that.

This is not the problem. It has only one connection and that one only to switch from left to right tank. In the newer models this type of switch has more connections. I think you have a broken wire in the circuit to fuel level sender or a bad ground.

The Light Disconnects from the bubbler. You need an air pump to run the bubbler and the light runs off of a plug. So yes, you can disconnect the light without disturbing the bubble function.

There is a on /off knob on the connector to the tank. You would turn the knob to off then unscrew the tank with no propane leakage.

Yes. I have however heard that the plastic connectors have a tendency to break. If your going to use these make sure it's hooked up outside the tank so you can replace it easily

No, I've never had any problems with my tank at all. you may have just got a defective one. you may need to get it replaced.

Do you bleed the line before removing the tank? I shut off the tank then press the trigger until no more air comes out. I use a remote coil with a quick connect. Doing this I've never had air seep afterward Hope that helps

It is not my design. I only made an eveluation. Also used on two different tanks because we used one up.ut something to consider is that the tank has a flow limiter. If you turn up the pressure and the flow increases ti that point it will stop working. This is mentioned in the instructions. When this happens it will appear to fail. You have to dismantle the regulstor from the burner and the tank with the tank shut off, naturally then put it all back together and start with a low pressure. If you follow this the try deliberately causing this shut down to happen by turning it up slowly until it goes into that safety shut down mode. That will tell you at what point you can safely run it without shutting the tank down.. Of course you would have to go through the whole procedure again.

it works continuous, when it fills up it turns off, then you remove the tank in back and empty it sink or toilet. put the tank back and it comes back on. it will not splash when removing tank, you have to pull stopper out and drain out the water. i have empty mine every 2 or 3 days. it runs all the time. i have 2 of them and love 'em!!!!

no controller needed, can (like mine) be plugged directly into wall for tank circulation

Hello Janet, I have that air valve on one of my tanks. You absolutly can turn one on and leave the others off. im only using 2 of the outputs. The other is closed with no leakage.

I discovered that it's best to close the tank valve and leave the grill on so the gas in the line will mostly burn out. Otherwise when you disconnect there is 12' of LP in the line that will spray out.
