By my count my fuel tank needed about 10 gals to fill up today (total fill up is 21 gals). It took only about 2 gallons then filled to the cap and no more would fit. The gauge would show only 1/2 full so I took off and took 7 gals of gas with me in separate containers because I just had a feeling that I would run out of gas eventhough as I said no more gas gas would go into the tank. Sure enough eventually I ran out and put the 7 gals in.
The bottom line is that the tank will only take about 1/2 of it's capacity then overfill yet it's not full based on my running out of gas and based on the gauge. Some help would be so appreciated. In case it's important; the boat is a 95 Four Winns Freedom 17' and the motor is a 96 130 HP Johnson looper. The fuel tank is a permanent plastic 21 gal tank under the floor.
