Since we don't use a whole lot of propane, it's not something I think to check consistently. I don't know that I would actually get to the point of using up both bottles before I checked and saw my original was 'in the red', but there's a good chance I'd be into bottle 2 before noticing it, and therefore not know how much I had used up in my secondary.

I think I'm probably an excellent candidate for both bottles 'on' and the Mopeka sensors!
It's a real pain, when you run out of propane in both tanks, and getting them filled is 30 miles away.
