Re: GAS

Last season I filled up with 98 gal. (Cha Ching)at a gas station before launching. Went pretty much up to August before getting 20 gal from the marina. Guage said I was down below a quarter of a tank. The 20 gal put it up between quarter and half. Then after haul out, I use the gas that is left in the tank for the spliter, tractor and chain saws. What I have drained out has been about 56 gallons. So my guage must be off.<br /><br />I could have gone the whole season without buying any. I like that, one fill up for the whole season. Of course the lake I'm on is a small one thats under a 1000 acre. I just usually troll.<br /><br />But if I would need fuel, I would support my local marina. Spilling gas into the water around here will get you a big fine. Thats another reason for me to use the marina..

Re: GAS

My old boat ran on 2 six gallon tanks. My new boat has a permanent 18 gallon tank.<br /><br />I have two 6 gallon jerry cans that I use to fuel the boat when I go to town.<br /><br />I alway keep gas in the jerry cans 'cause I also use it to fill the 4 gallon pressure tank for my tin fishing boat.<br /><br />The local resort that sells fuel is alway at leas 15 cents more per litre (yup about 60 cents per US gallon).<br /><br />Considering town is only 5 minutes away, I prefer to get gas there.<br /><br />In a neighbouring town, there is an ESSO that is both a boat station and car station. Guess what, they sell their gas on the water for the same price as on land.<br /><br />Isn't that a novel idea?<br /><br />Joe
