Propane system question
The original owner of my boat replaced the alcohol stove/oven with a propane unit. He also had an external twin-tank stern-rail mount installed. He also purchased a third aluminum tank which gets used in rotation.
The system does not have a pressure gauge or solenoid valve. I keep the tank valves shut when not in use (which is 99.9% of the time). At some point, I will put in a solenoid valve, but since we hardly use the stove, it is not on the front burner (pardon the pun). A pressure gauge does not seem necessary, since it''s easy to check if one of the tanks is empty. If so, I take it out and install the full spare tank.)
