Mopeka Pro Check Sensor for Steel Tanks

Just installed so I’ll update if anything negative happens, but so far, it seems accurate. During a recent snow storm that blanketed our area in ice, we got down to about 10% and had to call out our propane company. A small path had to be cleared to get to the tank and with the sleet coming down try and get a clear photo. Needless to say, it was cold! I looked to see if there was a wireless reader, maybe something inline with the manual dial, that could be used to look at levels from the comfort of a dry and warm room, and found this. I got it in 2 days before this review and made sure I knew what needed to be done for the install and it was easy. The bottom of my tank was dirty so I used cleaning wipes to get the area clean enough to install. You have to liberally apply the dielectric grease on the sensor and then place it. That’s it! As you can see from the photos, it is about a 3” circle. Before placing it how the sensor is read, but not connected yet. The manual dial showing just above 60% and then the app showing the same. It is working on a 500 gallon tank and I anticipate it’ll be safe, as it’s only magnets on the outside, and barring the battery being outside in extreme temps, I anticipate it’ll last quite a while.

These work great. Setup is easy and they are accurate. I use 4 of these for my rv tanks. The signal strength is good. I can view propane levels from anywhere inside and around the rv.

This Mopeka Pro propane tank sensor is an absolute game-changer for my off-grid camper! The setup was incredibly easy and took just a couple of minutes. I love being able to check my propane levels right from my phone without ever stepping outside, which is a lifesaver during cold winter months. It's so accurate and reliable, giving me total peace of mind knowing I won't unexpectedly run out of fuel. I seriously can't imagine camping without it now! If you rely on propane, you definitely need one of these.

These work great and I would highly recommend them. The only reason I’m only giving them 4 stars is you need to use the included spacer feet (see picture) so the tank doesn’t sit on the sensor. At least I did on my tanks. I use them in my truck camper and the compartment leaves little room for anything else (see picture). The spacer feet only raise the tanks a half inch or so but that was enough for me to have to adjust the clamping mechanism. Not a big deal but something to keep in mind if your tank fits into a small space. Knowing that, I would still buy them again.

EDIT - I previously rated this 3/5 stars due to only 1 of 2 units working properly. However, the seller quickly contacted me and resolved the issue with a refund. Because of the quick response from the seller, I'm updating to 5/5 stars for the superb handling. The other unit I have works fine. Also, many comments on here say the battery is not replaceable, that is not true. There's 4 small indentions on the faceplate of the main body of the sensor where you can insert a small flat object (like a flat-head screwdriver) and pop the face cover off which will expose the internal components and the battery. I just wanted to add that, as there are quite a few comments claiming the battery isn't replaceable. Below is my original review of the Mopeka sensor. I ordered 2 units and despite having trouble getting 1 of the 2 units to work as well as my other, I'd still recommend buying if you're looking at these as I may have just gotten unlucky. But because the seller contacted me so fast and resolved the issue, they get an "A+" in my book. ----------------- I purchased 2 of these for my 2 100lb vertical tanks. Set up was very easy and it linked to my phone via Bluetooth immediately. I followed the instructions for the first one and immediately got an accurate reading and a max star quality reading (1 is low quality and 3 is max quality sensor reading). I then installed the 2nd one on the bottom of the 2nd tank and no matter what I did, it kept giving me an error message on my phone saying the sensor was not properly placed for an accurate reading. I tried cleaning the bottom of the tank, cleaning the sensor, re-synchronizing the device, adding more gel to the sensor, recalibrated the level system, and nothing worked. I decided to just roll with it and see if it would work. It sort of works, but not nearly as good as the first one. After two weeks (and trying all the above AGAIN) , it still says the sensor is incorrectly positioned. Furthermore, it has trouble updating as frequently as my first sensor as shown in the screenshot. It struggles to update itself, which is frustrating when I'm using that specific tank. Sometimes it updates, sometimes it doesn't. See in the screenshot where my first good sensor updated immediately and my 2nd sensor hasn't updated for 22 hours. These tanks are right next to each other, so it's not a range issue. I don't know if this is a Bluetooth limitation or I got a defective unit, but considering the sensor issues I'm having with my second one, I'm leaning towards a defective unit. If I didn't have these issues, I'd no doubt rate 5/5 stars as my first one I've had zero issues with. It updates almost immediately when I open the app, says I have a good sensor reading, and is giving me an accurate reading. I can see the fuel deplete slowly in real-time while I'm using it. The second sensor, does none of those things. Lastly, my only other comment is that the low fuel level warning option in the app is a bit pointless as you basically have to have the app open to get a current reading of your tanks The app will not update the tank fuel levels if the app is closed or if it's been in the background for an extended period of time. I was looking forward to using this alarm feature as these tanks heat our house, but was very disappointed when I realized this limitation of the app having to be open on your phone. As it makes it a bit pointless when my tank is low, but I haven't received a notification on my phone. But then when I open the app and it updates and it recognizes my tank is low, THEN I get a phone notification that the tank is low. So I just turned this feature off. Otherwise the app itself is great! No bloatware, very simple design, easy to use, options to select various sizes tanks, able to rename and even put tanks in groups, etc.

A very cool device. Nice to know exactly how much fuel is left. From readings, you can know how much fuel is consumed with each use, so you can know when the tank should be refilled. A little pricier than a gauge, but those things aren’t very reliable and add another connection that can leak. You just slap this on the bottom of the tank and get a exact reading on your device.

easy to install and works, finally a good way to tell how much fuel is left in the grill tank

Muy difícil de usar

Great product

Follow the instructions and everything works fantastically. The range is excellent and it's a real advantage to know where your tanks are at. I have 3 of these, two for the trailer and one for the barbecue. An excellent product.

Ottimo
