Propane tank gauge on the tank.

I am referring to the gauge on the actual tank itself. I have a 1985 Winnebago Chieftain 20 footer. All ads for gauges say for units manufactured "after 1995".
Thanks,

Thanks, I'll give them a call today. Apparently the types of compressors used on an '85 454 P-30 chassis are like hairs on a dogs back. No one, I mean no one can tell you.
