Look at the guage on top.
if you tap it you will hear the difference in sound from the area that is empty and the area that isnt, that should give you a more or less idea
The new tanks have gauges, but, for now you'll do as we do, put the food on and when the gas quits put the food in the oven. Those tanks aren't cheap either.
Boil the kettle, then pour it over the tank it will frost to thelevel remaining in the tank.
If it's an actual tank, it'll have a gauge under the hood showing the percentage remaining. If it's a bottle (75gal or less), pour warm water over it. It'll show the fuel line because of the difference in temperature.
There should be a gauge on your tank that tells you how much propane you have left.
if you dint want to buy a guage find an old bathroom scale at a garage sale. weigh the tank empty and adjust the scale to "0" have the tank filled and sit it on the scales when it gets close to "0" its time to refill.
Slowly slide your hand down the tank from top to bottom. The propane will make the steel colder where it is present. No temp change, no propane.
check if there's a pressure gauge,and if not,check the weight of the propane tank when it is empty(sometimes it is indicated/scribbled at the tank),then put it in a weighing scale to find out how much propane were still inside.
