Does the pressure gauge indicate how full/empty the tank is?

yes, it measures in pounds of pressure per square inch. my tank is full at 2000 PSI and this gauge indicates it very accurately. From full all the down to zero. I am quite happy it.

It probably would but the readings wouldn't be accurate. For example 1/4-1/2 would probably = empty. Also, the added weight would probably damage the gauge. Another option is buying a standard personal weight scale and subtracting the tanks weight when empty. Hope this helps.

Not sure if there is any full proof way to tell, other than using it until it runs empty. You may also be able to tell by the weight.

I see where the confusion is. It appears to be empty. Odd warnings in the description though. I would contact weldfabulous directly to see if that specific tank is full or empty. I think its empty.

No this only lets you know how much water you have used in either gallons or litres. Kind regardsBoyd

When I use mine, I let it come up to pressure and it stops itself somewhat over 120psi at the tank. I have the output side of the regulator set to about 50 psi for filling tires on vehicles. Part way through filling up a tire the compressor will turn on again to bring the tank up to pressure again.If you are expecting the compressor to turn off at what you have set the regulator to, that is now how it works. The compressor will always fill the tank with its "normal" operating pressure and the regulator outputs the selected pressure.

There is no gauge. Only the floating weight on top and the over pressure vents. I call it good when the weight is gently rocking and letting out small puffs of steam. Works great.

i don't know. mine came with a gauge already on it. mine sets in hot tennessee sun. sun and heat creates a lot of pressure. i have seen one tank swell like a balloon and another tank cave in.i would personally not alter it.

I think you could use this unit at the tank and put the two stage regulator second in line the gauge will show you the tank fullness just fine , this is the way I use it ;-)

It doesn't have a port for a gauge. You may find an inline gauge but you may start reducing pressures.

No The pressure guage goes in the plumbing not in the tank. The tank is kind of like a capacitor and is connected on mine with a T off the main line and my guage is in the plumbing next to my pressure switch

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

From watching the Video , the handle you turn to show the tank that is full . Say you have the handle point to one of two full tanks . When the tank the handle is pointed at goes empty . You turn the handle to poiint to the full tank at that time . Hope that makes sense ..At that time you can remove the empty as well ...good luck !

It works by measuring the pressure in the tank- the higher the pressure, the fuller it is- and the gauge is calibrated accordingly. It's fairly inaccurate due to changes in temperature, but it gives a ballpark estimate on how much fuel is left. I like mine, although a scale would be more accurate.

You have to run water down the line, so there should be fluid from that when the tank us empty.

It will empty part of the way the gravity feed isnt low enough to empty the entire contents. the fuel gauge is a little off from what I have seen, I have to add about 10 gallons before it will even reach empty.

You have to be able to lift up on the tank for the gauge to be able to determine how full it is. So, if you leave it connected, the connection would have to be loose so it wouldn't hinder the measurement.
