Can this be used to measure propane pressure from propane tanks?

No. Don't even think of trying it. This device measures vacuum (negative pressure), and not much, from what amounts to a fan sucking on a tube. A propane tank is high positive pressure trying to escape from a tank. Again do not try this. The propane would blow the blue fluid right out the Manometer!

I wouldn't see why not however I have not tried it for that application. It is pretty sensitive as far as adjusting it to the correct pressure. I am very familiar with smoking food however my smoker uses wood and I have never tried smoking with propane. I have mine connected to a furnace that I took out of a camper and now have in my wood shop and I can look in the window and control the flame. If I were to use it on a smoker I think I would use a thermometer with a probe so that I could see the temperature especially if you're cooking on low heat. It should work fine. Hope this helps.

I don't think so in this basic program but I believe it measures exhaust pressure. Not sure if that helps you or not

It probably won't measure correctly. The idea here is that the gauge reads empty when it is hooked to the exact weight of a standard 20 lb. tank. Let's say that's 5 lbs. If your 30 lb. tank weighs 7 lbs. when empty, the needle on this would still read above empty. You could only really use this if you weighted your tank when it is empty and custom marked that as the new zero or empty value. Also, I don't know how well this would tolerate weighing your tank at full weight.

short answer, no. it has to have the same connector as your gas grill type propane tanks

No...If you decide to get a gage, get one that weighs the tank. Flow or pressure gages are unreliable. are very unreliable

Sorry I can't say for sure but I'd imagine so. It's a fuel pressure gauge, not just a gasoline pressure gauge. It comes with two adapters for two different style schrader valves.

You should be able to use this gauge on a diesel or gas engine, just as long as you know the fuel pressure does not exceed the 15psi max pressure of the gauge. It can damage and or cause the gauge to leak.

Short answer is no. It could be possible if you made an adapter hose to connect between the air chuck on the gas station hose and this tool. Not sure it's worth the effort. You can use this tool alone (with no compressed air connected) to MEASURE-ONLY tire pressure.

Mr heater does make a hose kit to connect 2 tanks together but i'm not sure how you would work in a gauge. i think you can get an inline gauge from mr heater also.

It could be used for measuring pressure ONLY if it is a low pressure you are wanting to measure. I do not think you could measure the flow of water with it.

Yes it does. I purchased it to read the pressure of a reverse osmosis water system tank. It works great.

In your case, I would contact Kidde Customer Service (1 (800) 880-6788) to ask them directly. The unit monitors natural gas and CO2. It may depend on the properties of propane and the height where the unit is installed. I'm not sure.

Yes, if the tip can touch where the gas comes out. Slightly below works best for propane. I bought a second one because they work so well.Nancy

Can't answer that but the gauge did not work on two different tanks that we tried to use it on. Maybe you doneed another piece, but we put it between the hose and the tank. It did not register empty when the tank was empty. When I wentto fill my propane tank it was ten years old and they made me buy a new one that came with a gauge (that works).

Well, I'm not sure what you mean by "larger," but since the device is giving you an estimate of how much propane is left in a tank, I suspect the size would not matter. The device needs to be placed as low on the tank as possible. If you can do that part, I think you would be ok. Good luck!

I do not believe that this cyl leakage tester can be used to check oil pressure.You would better served with an OTC engine oil pressure tester (or equivalent).
