Home and business owners across America utilize propane, a safe, alternative fuel source, to cook food and stay warm. To ensure you don’t run out of this essential fuel, you should recognize when it’s time for a refill. Below, the team at Liberty Propane in Hinesville, GA, explains how to figure out if the tank is empty and why you should refill instead of exchange tanks. 

Do You Need to Refill the Tank?

There are a few easy ways to monitor the level of fuel in the tank. The easiest and most accurate is a gauge, which either you or a professional can read. It’ll tell you how much propane you have left. Another way to check the level is by boiling some water and pouring it down the side of tank. Then, place your hand on the surface and look for a cold spot, which indicates where the top of the fuel line is.

Why Should You Refill Instead of Exchange?

Many people try to avoid refilling the tank in favor of getting a new one because they would have to transport it themselves. However, it’s often more expensive to exchange the tank for a new one than to simple reuse it again. It’s also quick and convenient to refill the tank, so you’ll end up saving time and money in the long run.
