Magnetic Gas Bottle Gas Level Indicator for the Caravan, Motorhome or Camping Butane Propane

It works but I personally found it hard to read

This is useless. Not worth it.

After running out of gas halfway through cooking our sausages on one of our camping trips I was delighted to find this indicator and took it on our latest trip.The indicator is about 4" high and our gas bottle (907) is about a foot high with a ridge in the middle, the magnet is a little ridged and doesn't curl around your bottle so sits a little proud. You can estimate initially where your gas level is by either shaking the bottle, feeling the weight or you can place it up and down the canister when it is in use until you get a reading.The reading by the way is not obvious if you compare it to the leaflet. For some unknown reason on the COLOUR LEAFLET they have chosen to illustrate the readings in black and white! Also on the leaflet they show one column as an indicator and on the actual product there are multiple columns which wouldn't matter if they showed identical readings but they don't.Once in place and using the gas bottle, the left column seemed to have blue colouring and right column, which I took as the actual indicator, showed orange at the bottom, yellow in the middle and pale green to the top. Looking at the picture (if we are to assume yellow as the level) it appears that gas is low and there is about 2" left in the can.I assume that it works because we did see some change in colour when the gas was in use but do you read the orange, yellow or green colour? And I still don't know how long the gas will last me even if I do have 2" left because the colouring is vague and I don't know the rate at which it is burning. This coupled with the poor instructions made the product difficult to use.I can't really complain because it is a good price, it's compact and gives you a rough idea of what is left in the can so it is worth a punt. With better instructions it could be a good product.

The colour does change, and you do get an idea of how much gas has been used - but its not perfect, it won't predict exactly when the gas will run out.Useful if you want an idea of whether you've got a 1/4, 1/2 or 3/4 bottle. But not much more than that.Update: The level reached the "bottom" by the end of my last trip - since then, I've had a BBQ, ran the hot water in my campervan and the gas hob & grill for 2 more days. And the bottle is still going.Update #2: Remember, this "Level Indicator" said "Empty" 2 trips ago - Well, I weighed the bottle last night. According to Calor, an empty "6kg" bottle weights 9kg: My bottle currently weighs 10.5kg, so its still 1/4 full. I'm afraid this product is useless. You're much better off buying a luggage weight for a few quid.

I'm not sure why other reviewers are struggling with this item. We have two, one for each of the gas bottles in our motorhome, and they seem to be working brilliantly. We tested when the bottles were both full, and they registered as such (remember to leave for at least 10 minutes when first putting onto the bottle before it will show an accurate result). We have now used part of one bottle, and it shows this. A great little item for the money. I doubt it will tell us to the minute when we will run out but, as our bottles are heavy and the back one is hard to remove, it saves us having to lift them and shake ot guess how much is left, and seems to give a very close approximation of usage.

This does not sit properly against the gas bottle and so does not give a good reading and keeps falling off. I have gone back to the old method of shaking the bottle to see how much gas is in it. Would not reccommend.

Does exactly what its supposed to and saves running out of gas unexpected

Difficult to understand what the readings are meant to show.. needs instructions to show what you are looking at

Recibido correctamente,este fin de semana lo probaremos en la autocaravana,gracias.Asi comprobaremos si baja mucho dependiendo del calor del exterior,que bueno...

molto ben fatti, cartello in metallo, omologato, pratico da montare, spedito rapidamente, e stato un ottimo acquisto, li consiglio a tutti

La lettura risulta poco comprensibile, pur avendo in qualche maniera seguito quanto descritto nel manuale trascritto in Inglese.vorrei sapere da qualcuno che lo ha già testato se vi sono altri accorgimenti per rendere visibile il livello.

Il prodotto non è affidabile ,Impreciso ,casuale.Ho provato diverse letture ma le risposte sono casuali anche a parità di condizioni
