What Is Remote Propane Tank Monitoring?

AUTHOR: Ferrellgas

Your propane tank works hard behind the scenes, fueling your home. But when it runs low, it can quickly move from out of sight to top of mind. Remote propane tank monitoring helps you plan deliveries with confidence. 

You can check your propane levels right from your phone with a remote tank monitor. It attaches directly to your tank, tracks your usage, and lets you check your exact propane level anytime on MyFerrellgas.com. We use this data to schedule timely deliveries for customers who use it with our Auto Fill delivery service. Customers who use it with our Will Call delivery service receive more accurate low tank reminders and help them determine when to place their order.

How to Check Your Propane Level Using a Tank Monitor

If you have a propane tank monitor, you can check your propane level anytime by logging into your MyFerrellgas account from a mobile device or computer. If you use our Will Call delivery service, call us when your propane level reaches 30% or at least seven business days before you anticipate needing a refill.

How Your Remote Propane Tank Monitor Works

Your tank monitor uses advanced sensors to measure your propane levels and sends that data through a reliable cellular signal to Ferrellgas, then makes it available to you in MyFerrellgas.com. A strong, reliable cellular connection is needed for your remote tank monitor to work consistently.

The Benefits of a Propane Tank Monitor

Having access to real-time propane levels gives you: 

• Convenience: No need to walk outside to check your tank when a wireless tank monitor does the work for you. You can view your levels anytime, anywhere on MyFerrellgas.com.

• Confidence: Your usage is tracked automatically with industry-leading technology.

• Accuracy: Real-time readings strengthen our Auto Fill service by helping us schedule deliveries at just the right time. Will Call customers also benefit from precise tracking, receiving accurate reminders when their propane levels are low.

What’s the Difference Between a Propane Tank Gauge and Remote Propane Monitoring?

Both show how much propane is in your tank, but a tank gauge requires you to walk out to the tank, lift the lid and read it manually, while a remote tank monitor does the work for you. The monitor automatically tracks your levels and sends that data to Ferrellgas, letting you view your exact propane level anytime on MyFerrellgas.com.

Can a Remote Tank Monitor Be Used With an Underground Propane Tank?

Yes, the same Ferrellgas remote tank monitors used on aboveground tanks also work with underground propane tanks. These monitors are installed under the dome, where they are protected and function the same way, providing accurate readings and real-time updates.

Digital Tank Monitoring Pairs Perfectly with Auto Fill

A digital tank monitor pairs perfectly with the Ferrellgas Auto Fill delivery service, adding even more convenience to how you receive propane. Call 888-337-7355 to talk with your local Ferrellgas team to see if a digital tank monitor is right for you.*
