[Rhodes22-list] All that Gas.....

[Bill Berner]

I use two 6 gallon tempos.

1 port and 1 starboard under the seats.  They fir, sort of.  I have to
remove the filler cap on one to get it under.  On the other I remove both
the filler and  the cap with the out put fitting.  Definitely a little bit
of a pain,  but I don't often have to refill them.  When I'm out for a LONG
time (days), I'll take along an extra 3 gallons in a plastic can.

The tanks are strapped in under the seats.  Works for me.

I use the Clinton 6.6 gal tanks as well and as MJM says they fit under the 
cockpit seats. I usually only carry one tank but when going on a river 
cruise I sometimes carry two. You can run one tank dry and connect to second

tank without the motor missing a beat.
