I've got a few propane tanks, but it is easy to forget which ones are full - especially when secured to a trailer. These little magnetic marker tags make it easier to mark if they are full, partial, or empty. I suspect that the magnets are strong enough to hold them down even going down the road, but I made a spot for some parachute cord as a backup just in case.
This is designed for 5x2.8mm magnets (search B0936M3WPK on amazon). I don't have a multi-material printer, so the letters and the circle/half-circle are press-in similar to the magnets. I use a kreg clamp to help press them together.
I used PLA, but PETG would probably have been a better idea. I suspect they might melt in the sun…
This design is parametric, if you want to adapt it to your magnets open it in Fusion 360 and go to “Modify > Change Parameters”
