As other reviewers have said, when the tank gets low you do not have much warning. The tank pressure holds pretty steady until the liquid inside converts to gas and is consumed. Once the liquid is converted, the gas gets used up pretty quickly, so you need to seriously be looking at new tank. This gauge does help because I now have some insight into pressure dropping, and am no longer replacing tanks that have a ways to go. At $20 per tank, this has already paid for itself by avoiding returning partially used tanks
Propane is a special gas. Unlike filling your tire with air, when your propane tank reaches about 120 psi, some of it starts to turn to liquid. That's convenient, because in liquid form, about 20 to 50 times more propane fits in a tank than in gas form. This also means as you slowly use propane from the tank, some of the liquid propane expands back into a gas, keeping the pressure at 120 psi until there's no more liquid. Only once the liquid runs out, at which point you'll be down to about 1/20th to 1/50th of a tank, will the gauge start to go down. (Note that 120 psi is for room temperature propane--the exact pressure depends on the temperature. That's why there are 3 scales on the dial.)
As long as you understand this is basically an empty/not-empty indicator, it is a useful tool. The build quality is nice, it doesn't feel cheap or flimsy, and you can read it any time the tank is open (no need to use the propane for a little while before you can get an accurate reading). To use it as a leak tester, you turn off all propane appliances, open and close the tank, then wait a while to see if the pressure goes down. If it does, you know you have a leak.
So, what if you do want a more accurate idea of how much propane is left? A common trick is to pour a pitcher of warm water down the side of the tank. Then feel the tank where you poured the water. Above the propane level the sidewall will be warm, and below the propane level the sidewall will be cool. If you don't need as much accuracy, you can also just shake the tank gently to get a feel for how much liquid is sloshing around inside.
This gauge still has value to me though, because it is nice to use when troubleshooting. If I have a poor flame, but my gauge is in the green, I know I have gas, therefore my problem is elsewhere.
*ORIGINAL POST BELOW*
Seems to be spot on for my BBQ grill. I've been wanting one of these fore about 4 years now because at least 2-3 times a year I run out of gas right in the middle of cooking. Glad I got it. I've avoided that problem twice now!
