The pictures I saw indicate that it is the same type of gauge that is on the tanks I bought. I think they are useful as an indicator, but accurate? Not really. The gauge bottoms out in the red while there is still propane up near where the tank's bottom curved section meets the vertical side wall. The tanks I have do have a float inside also. They are not the type that works off of the gas pressure. I have one of those on my grill at home. It is also useful as a general indicator. The float in the tank is better, but nowhere near the accuracy of the one that was on the horizontal tank that was in the motor home my parents used to have.
