So, we use this to tell how much gas is left in a gas bottle. How? Well, we pour hot water down the side of the gas bottle to heat the steel. The steel above the level of the gas will retain the heat longer than the Steele below the level of the gas. This makes it feel warmer above and cooler below the gas level. The point at which you feel the temperature change is the level of the gas inside the bottle.

How to check how much gas is left in your gas bottle

This test works with all sizes of cooking gas

How full is the gas bottle? Do NOT use boiling water, as you would risk scalding yourself.

1. Water from the hot water tap of your home should work fine.

2. Using care, slowly pour the hot water down one side of the gas bottle. More water is better, as it will make it easier to feel the difference in temperature.

3. A line of condensation may appear, indicating the gas level. If not: Wait a few seconds and then run your hand down the same side of the gas bottle, where you poured the water.

4. You should feel a change of temperature at the level of the gas. If you feel no difference, the gas bottle may well be empty.

Note: The test works even better during or after you use one of your liquid petroleum gas (LPG) appliances.
