G'day all,

Perhaps someone could enlighten me. I have never heard of the hot water method.

How does it work ??

thanks

Hot Water Method of checking LPG levels.

1. Boil jug or kettle.
2. Take jug or kettle to LPG bottle. (This is easier than taking LPG bottle to jug or kettle.
3. Pour a stream of hot water down the side of the LPG bottle to heat it.
4. Now touch LPG bottle from the bottom where water has run, and move finger up slowly.
5. Where the temperature of the steel bottle changes indicates the level of liquid gas inside the bottle.
6. How it works. The gas in the bottle doesn’t absorb the heat from the hot water as readily as the liquid does. Thus the metal heats up where there is gas, and stays cool where there is liquid.

So endeth the lesson for today.

Thanks for that......

The product would be useful for smaller gas bottles ( 4 KG)
where I have trouble with hot water method. I don't carry a second bottle
and have no room anyhow and have to guess if the gas will last till I hit the next town .
