My truck has a 230l tank in the bed and a 90l
Tank underneath the light gauge is connected
To the smaller tank the gauge indicates no gas
But the manual gauge on the top tank says full
And when it gets warm under the black tonneu
Cover it vents so I guess it is full . What would
Be stopping the large tank from emptying and
What can I do about it , thanks

Never smelled or heard any of my LPG tanks venting, they shouldn't be completely full, the filler should stop leaving space for heat expansion in the tank.

I presume this vehicle is new to you, there might be separate fillers for each tank and you might have to manually switch over between tanks.

Presumably you also have a further petrol tank as well because its most unusual for an LPG converted car not to start on petrol then switch over automatically once up to temperature unless its been set up deliberately for manual changeover, usually the lights on the switch change when it switches over to gas.

LPG gauges are notorious for being worse than useless, on a cool morning you should be able to see the level currently in the tank via the condensation on the outside.

I'd slip into an LPG converter for advice and to get the system checked over, you do not want propane seeping out anywhere.

I have had the truck a couple of years , it does start
On petrol, it has a gauge of green lights to say
How much gas it has then it beeps when it runs out
And switches back to petrol , large tank in bed
Covered in condensation . I wondered if Valve
Between tanks is blocked stopping top tank
From emptying
