i’ve refilled my single 11kg gas-it system 3 times now -
the first time on installation, it took 22L (circa 11kg) as expected,
but the two times when i’ve filled it since then (when the notoriously unreliable clip on gauge has read empty), it has only taken 12L ((circa 6kg) before the gas pump has shut off -
when the gauge is reading empty, the bottle feels light but it is hard to remember the empty weight and whether the bottle could have an extra 6kg of gas in it - but i’m reluctant to disconnect the bottle and give it a good slosh around - but but neither time has the gas run out in the MH - so i know I’m filling up before it is empty - I’m just trying to gauge usage - and whether my system is working.
what are the thoughts? is the poor performance of the fill gauge pretty normal and just keep filling it periodically as i use it?
