How Much Propane In Horizontal Tanks.

When our first propane tank switched over to the other with the guage on E and I removed it; stood it up the guage read half. When it was filled it took only 2.87 gallons. When mounted back in the horizontal position, the guage read a little more than half while indicating full when vertical.

Do horizontal tanks provide less propane than vertically mounted ones?

Our 20 lb tank typically takes anywhere from 3.4 to 3.8 gallons when refilled. Don't know if that is any different for the vertical tanks. I believe there is a safety shutoff inside the newer tanks that prevent them from being filled more than 80% of their capacity.

There is a lot of very helpful information about the horizontal tanks there. You might also find page 1 helpful.
