The weight marked in log bottles. Is the weight of the fuels inside, the weight of bottle plus fuel when full or the weight of the bottle?
Trying to work out how close to empty we are.
Which size cylinder is it?
Campingaz or Propane?
If it’s helium then they’re lighter when full.
Weight of gas.
You can work out contents if you have a full one as well. Weigh
new one and take off weight of gas. This gives you weight of can. Weigh half empty one and take off weight of can. Not exact but gives pretty good guess.
Only works if you have a full one though.
Do the bottles not have a tare weight on them?
Every bottle should have a tare as they do vary in weight. Weigh bottle, take of tare = gas left
Yeah there is the 19kg marked but I was not sure which weight it was! Seems from the answer it's the weight of the gas. No full one to test against, I think it must be close to empty as it only weighs 19kg! Thanks all .
You can tell roughly by sloshing it.
If its calor lpg there should be a bare metal disc on / around the colar with stamped numbers. This varies with each canister and is the weight of the emtpy cylinder. In pounds&oz iirc.
The 'advertised' / printed weigth (eg 9kg) is the weight of the gas alone.
Yep lpg. Stupid of me to neglected that fact. 38 02 27 on disc. Which would be about 17.5 kg, not sure what the 3rd number is.
