How to know how much gas a gas cylinder has Homemade trick!

As we well know, the use of gas is essential for our daily life, whether for the purpose of heating our home or for cooking, among others. In any case, we use it constantly, one of the concerns that arises is: How to know how much gas a gas cylinder has.
It is very common when you notice that there is little gas, to shake the cylinder or the container, we must know that this action is a big mistake and extremely dangerous. In addition, it does not give you a clear indication of whether it still contains gas.
Therefore, let’s look at some tricks and tips to make sure we know if we have gas in the tank or not, but doing it safely:
How to know how much gas a gas cylinder has
Let’s see the gas level in the cylinder as follows:

First, we turn on the stove and heat water, for example. The idea is that the cylinder is in use to do the test.
Then we fill a bucket with a little water and wet the whole tank.
We immediately let about 10 minutes pass and we will be able to observe how the tank shows a strip that dries faster. Well, that strip is a clear indication of the level of gas we have in the tank.
A very simple but highly effective method that we can apply at the first opportunity we have!

Tips and Tricks
Another simple method that can help us a lot to know if there is gas in the tank is to weigh it if we have the possibility of having a scale at home. In fact, our personal scale can be used to do this, we can do a simple calculation and deduce if we still have gas in the tank.

It is important to keep in mind that there are numerous gas tanks of different materials in circulation and therefore the weight can vary in order to know exactly the correct weight of each gas tank, in order to deduce if we still have gas or not.

However, if we follow an official and recognised signature, it tells us that each cylinder contains 10 kilograms of LPG product, meaning that the total weight of the cylinder is approximately 22 kilograms including the weight of the container.

Therefore, with this data we can make an approximate calculation to know if we still have gas in our container.

How do we know how much gas a cylinder has? As we saw previously, we simply use the method of wetting the tank or container with water, which will clearly indicate the level of consumption up to that moment.
