You don't have to shake the gas cylinder to know the level of its content.
Just wet a side of the cylinder with water. After a while, the used top part will be dry and the lower part with gas will remain wet. The wet portion tells you the amount of gas left. Most times we shake our gas cylinders to check if it is finished or not. That is a very dangerous thing to do. It could be suicidal.
Kindly share with friends and family

Do not drop the cylinders while moving them —
Use gloves when the bottles are wet, dirty and slippery and hold the top part firmly. —
Wear sturdy shoes when moving cylinders —
Empty gas bottles may seem empty, but they may still contain some gas. Test this by shaking the cylinder. —
Never fill empty gas cylinders yourself! A regulated gas supplier ensures a proper filling of gas. The cylinder should also meet certain security measures that users are not informed about. —
Please note that gas cylinders contain fluid, this fluid moves when you move the bottles. —
Gas cylinders are heavy! Do not go beyond your strength. Try to minimize the movement of gas cylindrs. When moving them use a lift or cart. —
Choose a safe place to store your gas cylinders —
Choose a location that is easily accessible when replacing the gas cylinders —
Connected cylinders should be placed indoors. —
Cylinders that are not connected are preferably stored outdoors. —
Always place cylinders upright, with the bottom on a flat surface and in a well-ventilated area. —
Because propane and butane are heavier than air, the gas cylinders should never be placed in basements or confined areas under the ground level. —
Do not place the cylinders in the vicinity of vehicles, even only to avoid the damage while moving the cylinders. —
Place cylinders at a safe distance of at least 3 meters from any corrosive, toxic or oxidizing materials, unless they are seperated by a fire resistant wall. —
Avoid the presence of combustible materials near gas cylinders —
Never place a bottle next to fixed sources of ignition, unprotected electrical installationa or sources of extreme heat. —
Connect one gas cylinder to maximum one device.

You started your theory very well but now messed it up with the word "alteartion". In a closed environment, nothing escapes,. There can't be any explosion if there is no leakage.


So if the burner is not properly set and gas molecules escapes it is not an "alteration"
Explain pls Mr ITK...

You are right. But if the walls of the cylinder are weak or the valve head is leaking, then any shaking of such a cylinder, could cause gas molecules to escape and an explosion might occur. undecided Unfortunately, there is no recertification method for a lot of gas cylinders in this country. You see many cylinders with rusted bodies or shells, still being used to store and fill gas! shocked It is hazardous.

The best thing is to use a gas regulator with a measuring gauge which can be attached to the cylinder.

I've tried all the regulators. I'm into gas. Most of those regulators don't tell you squat! They mostly let you know if your regulator is open or it's leaking gas. Other than that, it's nothing else.

I have been using one for the past 2 years, and it still works quite well. There are good and bad regulators in the market, or what is termed 'original' and 'fake'. Search well. undecided

It lets me know if my cylinder is full, half-empty or totally empty. It lets me know the amount of gas content still left in the cylinder, so I can know when to start planning for a refill. I will check the manufacturer's name, and let you know when I get home.

i'm truly inspired. You're saying it let's you know all this and you didn't bother to know the name of the manufacturer? Wow!

Does the gas regulator let you know the amount of gas left in your cylinder in psi or KG?

indicators use pressure gauge to show the pressure level of gas tanks/cylinders. If the pressure is high, the tank/cylinder full, if it's low or getting low, it's empty or there about.

The most effective way of knowing if your cylinder is getting empty or not is to get a scale to weigh it. Those indicators are scam.

You sound so pained over this matter. sad Please take a panadol for your headache, o! shocked

I refill my cylinders at a reputable gas plant, not a roadside gas reseller's stall. The tare weight is clearly seen, when my empty cylinder is placed on their digital platform scale, while the gross weight is also clearly seen, when the cylinder gets filled up. Their dispenser is a digital one, that even gives you a printout, at the point of refill. So what else is needed? Please if you are a reseller of platform scales, looking for someone to hoodwink into buying your scale, biko take your business elsewhere. I don't need it.

If you have bought indicators which have not worked for you in the past, too bad. That is your own cup of tea... undecided
