Just put these on my propane and two on my grey and fresh water tanks. Tied it into my Victron cerbo. Very cool on the touch 50 display. Also put a couple nuuvitags into the cerbo for relay control. Cerbo 2.8 firmware or greater supports both. Nuuvi and mopeka. Thanks
When you first laid out how you were conducting this test i thought, "Wow, he's dedicated. This is going to take a week of using that tank and disconnecting everything, conduct the test, the hook everything back up." Bleeding a whole tank to complete the test in a day is definitely the way to go!
I have used the original sensors that they came out with for about 4 yrs and really enjoy knowing what my tank levels are. I have the wireless display (which was part of a package deal with 2 tank sensors) mounted inside the camper which is nice for anyone in the camper to be able to check the levels. I just in the last month found out from the Mopeka Tech Support that you can use the wireless display in conjunction with the phone app. I have changed the batteries in the sensors and the display 3-4 times in each unit. Thanks again for the great info!
On propane tank there are number on the collar the TW will be you tare weight of the bottle empty. That’s what you go off when you fill by weight. Also love you videos keep it up. Can’t wait until we can travel more
Loved seeing the footage of the Big Red Schoolhouse at the NRVTA as I sat outside looking at the Big Red Schoolhouse across the lake. Taking the fundamentals class this week.
This was very informative, I really appreciate your help with this video. I ran out of propane last fall and it was freezing in the camper the last night of our stay, needless to say, my wife was not very happy with me. This is a great solution!
We have Mopeka gauges, and when we first got them, they worked well. It didn't take long, though, for them to stop communicating. Replacing batteries helps sometimes, but even with fresh batteries in both sensors and the remote display, it often reads wrong or refuses to provide a reading. So we're back to loosening the hold-down, and getting a rough feel for the weight. The *idea* is great; apparently the execution is not good.
I love hanging out watching your "geek out" videos. 46 years as a software test engineer I totally appreciate the level of detail of your experiments! I wouldn't change a thing. 👍👍
Now you got me buying one more thing I'm gonna get in trouble for🤣. Actually these are awesome. I have 30lb tanks and also a JACK-IT bike rack on the tongue of my TT. I love the bike rack but because the tanks are tall I have to remove the top of the rack to pull the tank off the tongue. Thanks for the review!
I admire your evaluations on the various systems you have in your RV. I find them thorough and technically accurate. I appreciate the amount of time you take to research and produce these reports. On the LP tank level indicator, some people may wish to duplicate your method. I noticed that you did this analysis on a very windy day which is very good, however you may have made a statement that LP gas is heaver than air and without a wind, the gas can settle into lower areas and cause a dangerous situation. Please keep up the good work.
When you refill your tank remember to push the green button to reset the sensors. Also, propane heating pads are great in cold weather. I do like the plastic pads on the bottom of the tanks.
I liked the Mopeka system when I first set it up using the square sensors. Over time, I found the Florida heat was brutal on the batteries and I was constantly changing them. Then the sensors became unreliable and would not even sync with my phone right next to them. Do the new round sensors work better? If so, I might be willing to give it another try. Thanks for the great video as always! Steve
Nice units just expensive other then that their cool. Be nice to maybe be able to do a manual calibration in the app to better fine tune if one wanted.

Yes.. the display does work.. but it's only 20% increments (5 LEDS) and, of course, there are no notifications when it gets low. AP Products LP Tank Check Monitor: amzn.to/393arjW
Chad, thank you for a very detailed and informative review - I've wanted something for my horizontal tank in my Class A since the only system I have now uses the float inside the tank for a measurement, and it lacks a little bit. Since these can be set for the size of the tank as well as the characteristics of it (hard mounted horizontal ASME in my case), they sound like the answer!
Chad, this is perfect detail! I like how you're analytical and thorough like my mind works also. Sold! I'm getting some of these in just a minute. These little magnets will make it much nicer to check on the propane, instead of going outside in the dark and battling black widow spiders to check our levels. Thank you so much!! :)
I'm curious to know what the TW (Tare Weight) is that should be stamped on the collar of the 30lb tank. I have a 20 lb tank (TW=16.6lb) and a 40lb tank (TW=31.1lb). While watching this video, I used my bathroom scale to weight both of my tanks (full) and calculated that they have 4.57gal and 9.31 gal respectively. Great video! Thank you.
The tare weight is the empty weight of the tank stamped on the collar by law.. The 20, 30, 40lb tank names refer to roughly how much propane they should hold. Thus your 20lb tank would weigh about 36.6lbs and your 40lb would be 70.1lbs when full. This is why you see many places place the tanks on some sort of scale.
Another excellent educational video! Thank you both for your time and effort to creat this. I have learned so much from you and continue to be impressed by Chads ability to explain relatively complex topics in concise and easy to understand terms. I suspect Chad wanted to take a long hot shower after dealing with that stinky stuff for 6 hours!
Thanks for another great video. I have been looking at installing these on the propane tanks and water tanks to integrate into my Cerbo GX. You may know by now, but the empty tare weight of any tank is stamped on the collar behind the TW. This would save draining the tank. Just weigh the tank, subtract the TW and use the math to figure out how much is in there. Have a great day!
Crap! Best Foolproof way to measure Contents of a BBQ Bottle is by WEIGHT..... exactly how the Refillers do. Even Weber BBQ's have a basic fill read device as a Weight measure. It WORKS !
Chad: you are the dude, Man. What a nice scientific comparison for us simple folk. 🙂 I had the original Mopeka sensors years ago, and I wasn't impressed (mainly with battery life). The new round version seem to be a lot better as I read about them. As I know Mopeka has their app, I have also "heard" that the Lippert tank sensors are actually Mopeka sensors, and since our 2023 320MKS has One-Control, I'm wondering if this is an added benefit to buying the Lippert sensors. Can you comment?
Chad, the RV owners are lucky to have you! You definitely have a gift! Tara your awesome as well! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and educating us.
Does the Pro sensor have a USB plug to connect via the power bank or throw other power supplies? How long does his battery live? I want to install the sensor on my car's propane tank 70 liters. It is cylindrical and located horizontally. Will this pro version sensor work? Thank you.
Checklist checklist checklist..lol.. i need and will make a sign like shipboard use to put around valve that reads "remove the sensor" before removing.. another ONE left at a stop and go for gas and propane on the outer banks last week..arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh, now back to hot water method till i get Another SENSOR..lol
I remember watching this video a year ago and being so lost. Since then, I’ve done a lot research and went through the NRVTA coarse. The only issue I’ve come across so far is with the display 50. I’m running about 20 - 25 feet from the Cerbo GX. It seems like you had to run yours pretty far also. My question is do you recommend a hdmi extension. I was reading some forums and people were saying the extension was causing some issues on the display screen. If you had to use an extension, did you have problems? Do you recommend a good HDMI extension? Thank you for making great videos.
My two 30 gallon tanks are not in a bay but on the front of my RV under a plastic tank cover. The temp outside has been between -4 and 27. My question is: will these sensors work well not in a bay in freezing temps?
less reliance on that tracking gizmo. the better. the less tech needed to just get out and have fun. the better. i run a three tank system. drain down tank 1, switch over to tank 2, install tank 3 and i know i need to get tank 1 refilled in the next 72-96 hrs. but that is if i am using a LOT of the stuff. most times i am not so the time to refill can increase three to five times. as i have two full tanks to burn through, before i would run out. and as i use a couple of the bar-be-q tanks for everything outside. so if ever needed i have plenty of spare on me when i go out for a couple weeks. as i also have a 120 volt heater, that i can use for heat. but that requires gasoline. (honda eu 3000). everything else ok on battery power. but in 23 years only camped in the snow once. but it does get cold at night in the high country even in the summer. extra blankets. but some falls, it can be warm even above 8K feet at 2-3:am.
We have been using Mopeka sensors for several years on our travel trailer tanks, and now on our Class A and love them. We did notice changes in the reading on ultra cold days before and after the sun would warm up the tanks.
Something is up with your audio in a lot of your videos. You must have 2 audio sources going because it sounds like you have a very faint doubling on your voice
If you vent it off fast enough, boiling will occur inside the tank. This boiling will cause the level inside the tank to increase, like a boiling pot of water boils over.
Propane gas sinks, keep this in mind when you release large quantities of it without burning it off. He had a decent breeze which made it less dangerous. But doing this could create a giant bomb at your feet if the gas finds an ignition source.
Love watching your videos I’ve been watching you for about a year now thinking about getting the sensors since I have two tanks do I need to sensors will the app switch from one sensor to the other per tank love the video on your fuel saving fuel card through Open Roads have a plied for it have had it about a year works really great I love it let me know about the sensors I’m curious to see if I need to buy one or two thanks
I have these same propane sensors. Glad to see your test results. It sure boosts my confidence in the accuracy of these sensors. Also, nice truck in the background!!
Cool test, appreciate the info. Very interesting. Could you have estimated pretty close without having to drain it, based on maybe the first couple of reductions? Did the weight go down proportionately in weight based on the %?
as much as I like the concept, for many of us with 20 lb tanks, I know what will happen, I would be in a place where there was no fill and I would have to exchange the tank and would forget the sensor on the bottom.
Hey Shipmate, I’ve been thinking about getting these things. Thank you for the research. You have sealed the deal for me. Thanks for all the work you do for the rest of us. You have no idea how many times you have saved my six and my money! Fair winds to both of you!
I have the standard sensors (gravestone shaped) on my 30 pound propane tanks in my RV. They have been working great until today. I had a tank that was reading 2% yesterday which I thought to be pretty close to accurate as I've used propane for my stove, furnace, grill, refrigerator and hot water tank for the past couple of weeks and we’ve had some chilly nights. This morning, I expected the tank level to read 0% or Empty. Instead, it read 54% left. Then a little while later, it read 10% left. Then later still, it read 12%. Sometimes it says "Low Quality: Tank empty or sensor is incorrectly positioned" while other times there is no warning. I haven't moved the sensor or the tank and I put fresh batteries in the sensors the last time I had the tank filled. What do you think is causing the readings to be all over the place?
Same experience so far here. I've had them for a couple months, also on two 30 lb tanks. One is still reading full, the other has read as low as 4% last week and is currently at 36%. My guess is the huge temp ranges we've experienced. From near freezing to about 92 degrees today. I imagine it gets pretty hot under that black plastic cover, especially when the sun is shining on it. Time will tell I suppose.
I also use those Mopeka sensors on the gasoline tank for my generator on Momentum! You have to set up a custom tank in the settings and measure the height of your fuel cell but it’s very accurate. It’s the only way I’ve found to know how much gas I have left for the generator without having to get out of the RV and go check the gauge.
Thank you for doing all the hard work and verifying that it is accurate. We appreciate you👏🏼 It looks like you filmed this while at Elkhart Campground @Chad.
Nice video. Nice sensor! The pro version has the big advantage, that it can "talk" directly to the Victron GX and you can integrate the readings! Though the gx needs the newest firmware...

Thank you Chad! This is a great overview!
This video was a gas! We have these, we also have a couple of the Pro H2O sensors on our gray/fresh water tanks. Those work ok as well.

I’ve only had to do this once. Not sure why yours needs it every time you fill up.
@@cruisinguy6024 it may be because the last 3 tank fill ups have been in dirt or rocks (Alaska and Canada) and we removed the mopeka from the tank.
@@robertnasser9937 do you have the regular sensors or the new pro sensors?
@@cruisinguy6024 the older ones but they were bought new. Never saw the new round ones until today
@@cruisinguy6024 regular but purchased new.

Off topic...
Time for a updated video of the f450, pros, cons, mpg no rv (empty), with rv etc, truck mods
I watched your video and you are using the gray mopeka pro sensor. I thought the black mopeka pro was for steel tanks and the gray was for aluminum?
Sadly these don’t work on horizontal tanks. I use two 20lb horizontal tanks with auto switchover.
I remember watching this video a year ago and being so lost. Since then, I’ve done a lot research and went through the NRVTA coarse. The only issue I’ve come across so far is with the display 50. I’m running about 20 - 25 feet from the Cerbo GX. It seems like you had to run yours pretty far also. My question is do you recommend a hdmi extension.

These are Crap.. Very unreliable. Bought 2… Nope!
less reliance on that tracking gizmo. the better.
the less tech needed to just get out and have fun. the better.
i run a three tank system.
drain down tank 1,
switch over to tank 2,
install tank 3
and i know i need to get tank 1 refilled in the next 72-96 hrs. but that is if i am using a LOT of the stuff. most times i am not so the time to refill can increase three to five times.
as i have two full tanks to burn through, before i would run out.
and as i use a couple of the bar-be-q tanks for everything outside. so if ever needed i have plenty of spare on me when i go out for a couple weeks.
as i also have a 120 volt heater, that i can use for heat. but that requires gasoline. (honda eu 3000). everything else ok on battery power.
but in 23 years only camped in the snow once. but it does get cold at night in the high country even in the summer. extra blankets. but some falls, it can be warm even above 8K feet at 2-3:am.
Is the black ring on the bottom a requirement just wondering, can't find on the website or Amazon ?
We have been using Mopeka sensors for several years on our travel trailer tanks, and now on our Class A and love them. We did notice changes in the reading on ultra cold days before and after the sun would warm up the tanks.
What's the T.W. listed on the tank (tare weight=Empty Tank Weight)?
So how confident are you that the magnets will hold? Considering bouncing with potholes.
Just saw a sensor that works with the Victron GX. I think it would cost about $400. Do you think you would consider it or you happy with this?
Something is up with your audio in a lot of your videos. You must have 2 audio sources going because it sounds like you have a very faint doubling on your voice
Have you looked at the Lippert LP Tank monitors ?
If you vent it off fast enough, boiling will occur inside the tank. This boiling will cause the level inside the tank to increase, like a boiling pot of water boils over.
If you have 2 tanks . Do you need 2 seperate sensors ? Or can you swap it from tank to tank ?
Chad, thanks Appreciate it very much.
Propane gas sinks, keep this in mind when you release large quantities of it without burning it off. He had a decent breeze which made it less dangerous. But doing this could create a giant bomb at your feet if the gas finds an ignition source.
What about sideways mounted tanks? Do those sensors work for those tanks?
Excellent Chad, thanks!!
Love watching your videos I’ve been watching you for about a year now thinking about getting the sensors since I have two tanks do I need to sensors will the app switch from one sensor to the other per tank love the video on your fuel saving fuel card through Open Roads have a plied for it have had it about a year works really great I love it let me know about the sensors I’m curious to see if I need to buy one or two thanks
Excellent tutorial. This weekend I'm helping friends install Mopeka on 2 tanks & now I am armed & ready.
I have these same propane sensors. Glad to see your test results. It sure boosts my confidence in the accuracy of these sensors.
Also, nice truck in the background!!
should have checked it against the tank gauges too see how bad they are off?? safe travels CL crew
Did you compare the tar weight stamped on the cylinder? Ot did I miss that part
Has anyone ever had there sensor fall off the bottom of their tank on the hwy? Wondering if some tape on it would help hold?
Cool test, appreciate the info. Very interesting. Could you have estimated pretty close without having to drain it, based on maybe the first couple of reductions? Did the weight go down proportionately in weight based on the %?
I. Glad you do this cause si gle women .ay not k own about this thank
you
Hi, how can I contact you about the product sponsorship?
as much as I like the concept, for many of us with 20 lb tanks, I know what will happen, I would be in a place where there was no fill and I would have to exchange the tank and would forget the sensor on the bottom.
Hey Shipmate, I’ve been thinking about getting these things. Thank you for the research. You have sealed the deal for me. Thanks for all the work you do for the rest of us. You have no idea how many times you have saved my six and my money! Fair winds to both of you!

I have the standard sensors (gravestone shaped) on my 30 pound propane tanks in my RV. They have been working great until today. I had a tank that was reading 2% yesterday which I thought to be pretty close to accurate as I've used propane for my stove, furnace, grill, refrigerator and hot water tank for the past couple of weeks and we’ve had some chilly nights. This morning, I expected the tank level to read 0% or Empty. Instead, it read 54% left. Then a little while later, it read 10% left. Then later still, it read 12%. Sometimes it says "Low Quality: Tank empty or sensor is incorrectly positioned" while other times there is no warning. I haven't moved the sensor or the tank and I put fresh batteries in the sensors the last time I had the tank filled. What do you think is causing the readings to be all over the place?
Same experience so far here. I've had them for a couple months, also on two 30 lb tanks. One is still reading full, the other has read as low as 4% last week and is currently at 36%. My guess is the huge temp ranges we've experienced. From near freezing to about 92 degrees today. I imagine it gets pretty hot under that black plastic cover, especially when the sun is shining on it. Time will tell I suppose.
The batteries don't last long is there a setting for that?
I also use those Mopeka sensors on the gasoline tank for my generator on Momentum! You have to set up a custom tank in the settings and measure the height of your fuel cell but it’s very accurate.
It’s the only way I’ve found to know how much gas I have left for the generator without having to get out of the RV and go check the gauge.
