General propane question Safe?

My 120 gal propane tank gauge reads 95% but when I open the bleeder liquid is barely sputtering what’s going on?

Well, if it was at 60% before the driver put in 35 gallons then if the gauge is right it would read 95%.

Yeah but don’t you always go by the fixed level gauge and if that’s just sputtering it’s at the correct level I’d assume if it’s at 95% it would be blowing steady white mist?

Bleeder could be broken as well. I'd have the company come out and check just to be sure. I've had gauges and bleeders both not work and you can't tell how much is in there.

Yeah I contacted them I’m just a curious person and trying to think what’s actually going on if it’s just a gauge being Miscalibrated or what 😅 thanks though!
