I have a built in 20lt L P G tank, it will only fill to 18lt to full.
It has a 4 indicator light indicating the amount of gas left. Whilst on holiday the week before Easter in Christchurch. Dorset, it was indicating half full, 2 lights on, after 3 Days it was on red, nearly empty. No way had I used that emount of gas in 3 days. I could not understand this " gas loss", As soon as I got home I went and filled up, but only got 14.5 lts. Now I realise my light indicators are only indicators and not accurate gauges.
Before I left for the holiday the indicator was registrating over 2 lights, ie, the third light coming on accasionally.
I put this discrepancy down to the freezing weather and the L P G not " gassing up " am I correct do you think?

With respect, 14.5 litres vs 18 is still 80% of your expectation. As is jb0371's 16 litres vs 20.
In my case, 16 litres vs 40 is just 40% of expectation. Or allowing for considerable inaccuracy in the gauge as detailed in an earlier post, 16 litres vs 30 is still only 53% of expectation. Bit of a difference, huh?
