Hello I'm new guy to the forum. And just purchased a 1987 32' Excella. Love the unit, but needs a little TLC. Since all the gas bottles had to updated would anyone know if there is an adaptor so I can check the amount of gas from control panel?

I have an '89 Excella and the aluminum bottles have gages where a wire connects from the tank gage to the control panel. I have never seen an add on adapter for remote monitoring. I would think if your control panel has this feature, then you would also need the compatible gas cylinders.

Squish, My 86 32' probably has the same tank reading system as yours. I still have the original tanks- valves installed. You can do a google search on how to transfer propane from one tank to another. It can be done. While sailing in mexico we did this transfer with a few other folks. And it's no big deal either. IMHO the new valves are a way of dealing with incompentent propane employees. Tim
