The Coleman Digital Fuel Gauge is a pocket size digital scale that runs on two CR2032 batteries (included) to give you a rough estimate of the fuel level in your 14 ounce and 16 ounce propane cylinders. Just pop it onto a cylinder, press the button once to power up, then press again to choose between 14 ounce and 16 ounce.


Lift the tank by the gauge and it displays an approximation of how much fuel is left.
Though not precise, LP scales like this give you an idea of what’s in the tank and a heads up when you’re running low. If you burn through a lot of one pound propane cylinders—or have a cache of partially empty ones—the Coleman Digital Fuel Gauge is a useful, low cost tool for estimating your fuel reserves. It pays to shop around for this little gizmo—we’ve seen price ranges from $6 to $10.97. Our posted price below is an average.
Most online buyer’s reviews are positive.
