I use the 7kg propane gas bottles and want to buy a regulator that has a built in level gauge. Have looked but not sure what would be good and some where give the right readings. Anyone got one or any recommendations please.

From what I've read these gauges don't work very accurately.
Pressure from the bottle is a constant until the gas is nearly gone.

I use a luggage scale, the weight of the empty bottle is marked on the disc around the neck of the bottle.
Take a from b and you have your answer
Ok the disc round the neck of a new bottle says 8.3kg I have weighed the new bottle at 13.88kg as you suggest.so that leaves 5.58kg . Am I right in thinking flo gas are under filling there 7kg bottles by 1.42kg scratchchin.
