Fuel Capacity

[Ken Webb]

How much fuel are you guys running in a sport45 boat?

 

[chris thornton]

14 oz.

 

[Samuel Hagan JR]

You can with 12 but your pushing it. I had to wait until 1:30 to start my boat with a 12oz.

 

[glenng]

I'll carry 16 - like to keep the hopper tank FULL.

 

[Ken Webb]

What size hopper tank?

 

[glenng]

14 OZ main, 2 OZ hopper

 

[glenng]

I'm conservative on my set ups- and a one ounce hopper did not fit the boat as well. Main tank gets used up if I launch right away..

 

[Brian Schymik]

i run 20oz never a problem can run the extra laps if I jump and start right away. Why give yourself a disadvantage before you even leave the dock! Fill er up!

 

[Ken Webb]

Any tank recommendations for a ML Gp400V2? Iseem to have room problems w/o using 2 tanks. Don't want too.

You can use the du-bro slant tanks. They can be molded with your wife's hair dryer to fit in tight spaces.

Keb,

You could always get Walt to build you a custom one to pretty much accept any location, just a option for you.

It depends on the engine you have but i would go with what Glenn said 14 or 16oz us sullivan tanks on the side of the boat maybe Rick Bellinger will chime in tell you how to set up the tanks

 

[Ken Webb]

I've gone with a 14oz sul slant tank mnted on the left side of hull. Thanks guys.

Ken,

Walt Barney has the dimensions I used for my tank on the left side. You may have to play with the bulkhead opening a little to make it fit the hull.

I used a 14oz Sullivan. Like you said ,had to open up the bulkhead a little. Near perfect fit.
