How to Read a Forklift Propane or LP Bottle Gauge
Forklift drivers should know certain safety considerations when figuring out how to read a propane bottle gauge on a forklift. Drivers should know when the forklift is running low on propane or fuel. Some types of forklifts that are older are designed so that the forks slowly lower to the ground and the equipment shuts off automatically when the vehicle runs out of fuel. This is very unsafe and could lead to personal injury and product damage. Newer kinds of forklifts are designed differently to avoid this from occurring. The driver can operate a handle that stops the forks from falling when the propane runs out.

1 Make certain you know where the propane gauge is situated. Forklift propane gauge looks like an automobile's gas gauge. It is a small round object located either on the dash of the forklift where the controls and rest of the gauges are located or on the propane tank's valve.
2 Keep the cover of the gauge clean so that the lines and letters behind the glass are legible.
3 Situated at the bottom of the gauge is the indicator needle. This needle will show you how much fuel is still in the propane tank.
4 On the gauge: F represents full and E represents empty. When the needle arm points at the letter E, it means that the propane tank is completely empty. When the needle arm arrives at the letter F, it will mean that the propane tank is completely full.
5 There is a line in the middle of the gauge. When the needle arrives at the middle line it means that the tank is half full of propane.
6 Note that there are smaller lines halfway between the middle lines. These lines indicate quarters. When the needle touches the quarter mark closest to the F, it would mean that there is three-fourths of a tank remaining. When the needle touches the quarter mark closest to E, the tank is one-fourth full.
