For the fuel gauge on the dash to work there would have to be the SAME style(type) sending unit in the tank.

I've never seen one like that, It's usually been a look at the site glass to see how much propane there is.

MY glass window on my propane tank has a terminal that you connect a wire to and hook it up to your old gas tank sending unit wire. it does work (not very accurate) but my fuel selecter switch is malfunctioning and i need to hook it up direct. i know this works because befour the selector switch got fried it worked just fine.

thanks
