As far as the LED reading 1/3 - that means your tank is somewhere between 1/3 and 2/3 full. The gauge on the tank read 1/2 and that is somewhere between 1/3 and 2/3. I trust the tank gauge and use the LED as “guidance”.
So a half full tank taking on 4.3 gallons probably means you have a 40 pound tank or 9.6 gallons. (40 divided by 9.6 = 4.2 the weight of a gallon of propane.
Check the sticker on the tank - only way to be sure.

Your data is why I pose the question. There is no sticker on the tank. The data we seek is stamped on tank but so light you can't read it especially with the paint on the tank.
Why would Winnebago say it is 18 gal / 76 lb tank if it is only half that size?
I did get some crude measurements from the tank. It is about 28" long and about 14 wide in diameter. it round rectangular cylinder.
