| Thanks again. To clarify my tank read full after fill. We ran at close
to max for both 15 minute periods. What is WOT? |

| The only accurate method (if you don't have a floscan) is to FILL the
tank.... run your tests and then refill your tank and note the fuel
used. Guages are never accurate enough to make fuel flow tests. |

| 50 gallons - it's identical to a Stratos same size. |

| Thanks for the reply. I pumped 45 gals to fill 3/4 tank (my tank read
1/4 gal before fill). We used the motor for two 15 minute runs and five
10 minute idle periods and the gauge indicated I used 3/8 of a tank of
gas. This seems to be an extremely high rate of gas consumption. Any
thoughts? |

| Gauge accuracy? Probably a 50 gallon tank. Were your 15 minute "runs" at WOT?. If they were, probably burning in the
range of 20~25 GPH. 0.375 X 50 = 18.75 gallons used according to gauge
"estimate". Add your two 15 minutes runs to 50 minute idle time and seems
like you're within the accuracy of gauge. |

| Thoughts? Gots a million of them. :>) First, I assume this is a carbed Evinrude? Ok, so you had 37.5 gallons aboard and used roughly 14 gallons of gas
for 80 minutes or 1 hour, twenty minutes. ~~ mumble - mumble - About 10 gph which seems on the high side of the range, but in the
ball park. |

| Can't trust a gas gauge on a boat. Fill it up. Run the engine under the conditions you want to test.
Fill it up again and see how much you had to put in it. |

| Using my hour meter (hours run between fill-ups) and the gallons need to
fill up I average 2.5 gallons/hour with my 20 footer powered by a 190 hp
outdrive. 10 gallons/hour for a 200 HP bass boat seems very high! |
