I hope they are taking responsibility for anything that happens to the boats!

Has more to do with the statewide lockdown / quarantine that went into effect
at 8:00 last night. Similar to the banks not allowing folks inside a branch.
Boat yards are considered essential businesses so can stay open. I
Yup. I replaced the fuel sending unit. Calibrated 5 gals at a time (20 gal.
tank), still don’t trust it. Below ¼ add fuel. Added a 15 gallon bladder
that I fill the main tank with via fuel pump. Attempted recalibration again
this year. Dunno results.

I don't trust our fuel gauge either. I log engine hours and I know our
average fuel consumption per hour. That lets me know how much fuel we need
at any time. Works quite well, and is always confirmed when we refill the
fuel tank, how much we took compared to what I calculated it would take.

My marina will take a check under the door LOL. I am not sure if they will sell
fuel or not, I usually bring it down in a jug myself from the gas station.
This may be an issue for a 2 week trip we have planned for May. Might have to
load up with everything we need before we cast off!

See tanksinc.com for an inexpensive ($69) fuel gauge calibration unit. It can
be used for 4 calibration points and allows you to calibrate the amount of fuel
in the tank (independent of fuel tank shape) to the gauge. Since our tanks are
often not rectangular in all 3 dimensions, any sensor that
Anybody found a good app to track fuel usage by engine hours? Most of the
ones I've looked at track by mileage not engine hours.

Are you talking about a phone app? It is simple division, miles traveled and
gallons used gives MPG or hours run and gallons used gives GPH. You can
substitute hours for miles no problem.
Not sure why you need an app for that though??
An actual device to measure fuel used is an amazing thing and
Yes, a phone app.
I currently, like several of us on the list, track fuel usage manually.
Every gallon of fuel Touche' has used for the last 15+ years has been
dutifully logged with the date, amount, location, fill up (yes/no), the
knotlog miles and the engine hours. Another column lists the gall
Tracking your fuel consumption and fuel available is really a fairly important
safety measure. I filled my tank and ran my boats for 12 hours at cruising
speed and then filled up again. It was pretty easy to figure fuel consumption
in gallon/ hour and get a good idea of my range under power. I k
So how do folks "fill" condistently without vent spill. One of those vent
"catchers" or some other arrangement?
Thanks.

My gauge works somewhat, although it reads just over 3/4 when full, and
I've never run it empty, and have topped it off when the gauge reads 1/4
(only happened once). The gauge is old an of unknown make, so I will
probably replace it at some point, but I like the idea of a dipstick. Easy
to do, as
