Propane level sensor

[dthollis1961]

Gardner,


Take the wire off of the sensor at the propane tank and ground the
wire. Panel light should show "E" if circuitry other than sensor is
OK. Sensor works 2 ways. There is a magnet inside the tank that
moves the needle on the gauge according to the propane level.
Magnet in tank could be stuck. Electical portion of sensor is 90
Ohms resistance when full and 0 ohms when empty. I just found out
about all of this last week. My needle moved, but the panel stayed
at full. I've got a part number if you need it and a supplier too.
Propane places here looked at me like I had just flown in from
Mars. Lots of propane places don't like selling to the general
public too. You can remove this gauge(sensor) from the tank without
losing any gas.
