Camping in Knoxville. Temps tomorrow in the 20's. I use a propane gauge and when it shows low, I remove the tank and weigh it with a fish scale. 30 lb tank weighs 23.3 pounds empty, according to the tank. One gal weighs about 7 lbs. Just put 6.2 gals in my tank today at $2.39 a gal at Tractor Supply. Can't hardly beat that price.
Actually propane weighs approx. 4.125 pounds per gal and takes approx. 7 gals to fill a 30# tank. The tare weight on my tanks is 24.7#'s. They are all a little different. Jim
