Not Coast Guard approved, but I used to do some interesting trips on a 19’ Cape Dory Typhoon, with an English Seagull outboard. We used a couple one gal red plastic fuel cans, and then filled a couple bicycle water bottles with fuel, for daily use. It was easier to squirt in a little fuel when needed, than fight even the one gal. fuel tanks which always made a mess. Epic fun trips on the old boat. . .
Pulled into Friday Harbor early, and Arnold marched into the office and announced he’d be filling his starboard tanks, slapping down his gold amex card. The fuel boy came trotting down to the boat, just as I put the one gal. tanks on the dock, glared at me and said fill them yourself!
