Yeh I have one, the same. The don't work that well one day you seem to have 25% remaining then next nothing, they seem to  jump rather than slowly dropping as you use gas. My Son has one as well and finds the same.

The ones they sell with Autogas tanks have 'real' gauges, so I guess that explains a lot.

I get a rough idea how much gas I have left 'cos the cylinder ices up when in use. Shame the gauges aren't more accurate though, I'm never quite sure when I'm going to run out.

They have, but they are rubbish  :D. The guage clamps around then neck of the outlet, but is not in direct contact with the float, it must use magnets or something to move the guage. It stays on full then all of a sudden drops to the yellow. When it was reading empty it still had 6litres in it about 1/3 of the capicity. I'm actually really disappointed with it, they are next to useless.

What you gotta do is get a small bottle for back up. One that doesn't take up to much room so when it does run out use the small one for back up until you get big bottle refilled ?
