I downloaded a owners manual for my 1997 discovery. It says there is a separate tank for the generator propane. It doesn't say where the fill is. Can someone tell me where the fill is located.

Not sure but in your bay is the fill for the house and I believe there is another fill in top corner for genny tank. My best guess.

Yes, you are right, I found the fill late last night. But there is no gauge next to the fill. I guess you just go off the 1/4,1/2,3/4,full gauge above the stove when I fill it. Kinda strange there's no gauge outside.

The tank gauge will be right on the tank, they are float gauges, sticking into the tank.

They send a signal to the electric gauges.

There should be an indicating vent right next to the fill. You crack it open when you fill, and when it starts sputtering liquid, it's full (80%). Electric gauges are not to be trusted when filling.

If in doubt, climb underneath and trace the lines to/from the tank.

Yes, there is a vent next to the fill...thanks for the heads up.
