Twin 51 gallon tanks, I don't know yet how long they'll last and probably won't be happy when I find out :lol3

Our tank has 35 gallon molded into the top near the gauge float assembly. We have never put more than 25 gallons during a fill up even though the gauge is near empty. Always use street gas from a marina at the highway 105 McDonalds.

On an ethanol note. When we were in Destin Florida over the 4th of July holiday, we noticed a Sunoco gas station on the north side of highway 98 near downtown Destin with a huge sign saying "Non Ethanol Gasoline".

55 gallons in the center toon. The V-Rod ensures it never lasts long, but it's loads of fun :biggrin2

24 gallon permanent tank with fuel gauge that is about as inaccurate as you can get. Fortunately, tank is translucent and I can see the fuel level when I go look at it. I always take a fresh 5-gallon container of fuel to keep on-board in the rear starboard storage bin. There is one in there at all times - I use the older one (by a week) to refill the permanent tank after we come back in from the weekend. Usually takes about 4 gallons - I put the rest in the truck - and move the fresh replacement can to the storage bin. That way it gets rotated and doesn't go bad - and I always have extra FOB.

53 in the belly of the middle toon. does pretty well on gas if i keep it in the 3-4K range. above that, it starts to drink heavily.
