Calor will have supplied a common padlock key to the customer to allow access to valves and gauges. Our drivers will have the same key. Float gauge dials on tanks are about the size of a watch face and have graduated indications of contents. The dial face is protected by either a white Perspex cover which needs to be removed or a metallic hinged cover which can be lifted to view the gauge. On dials with percentages the tank will be full at approximately 85% as space is always left above the liquid for vapour to be drawn off.

For more information on how to check your tank gauge, see the following video: 

 

Telemetry is a monitoring device that is attached to the float gauge of a tank.  Readings from the gauge are taken periodically and the information is automatically transmitted back to our systems.  We use this information to accurately schedule automatic deliveries for those customers that have chosen to be on our Automatic Top Up service.  

For Republic of Ireland go to the Registered Gas Installers of Ireland website. For Northern Ireland go to Gas Safe Register website.
