Propane level sensor

[Gardner Yeaw]

David,
Thanks, that makes it real easy to seperate the sensor from the
electronics. My mechanical guage needle works so at least I have a
way to keep an eye on the level. Do you know of a site with
instructions/diagrams on how to replace the sensor? I don't want to
take out the wrong screw.

You are correct about the propane dealers, they don't seem to be on
the same wavelength. Every question I asked when I had it filled
yesterday seemed to get a shrug. I think they don't give advise
because as it goes, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

Also I suspect the lawyers may have something to do with it.
