I had no idea a new plastic 3 gallon tank was almost $40, and the hose assembly with fittings was almost $50
:eek :eek :eek

This does not sound good. I just found out I have a hole in the fuel tank of my boat, (along with some bad fuel !**##!) I was going to buy and hook up an external tank for a trip coming up next week until I can get it to my mechanic.... Whats the largest external tank Wally World carried??

I saw a 12 gallon can but didn't look at price

I have a 6 gal on mine. 12 gal just adds to much weight for my liking. But then again I bought mine to work the super shallow flats and try to keep the weight down.

I found a 6 gal at West Marine and it was $69....double the capacity for $30 more doesn't seem so bad ..... We do alot of running when down in the Pine Island Sound....I do not think 6 gallons would last one day, it might get me out but not back....

3 gallons is plenty for my boat. I can go 40 mile round trip (from Istachatta to hwy 44 and back) in my boat on one tank. What size motor on your Gheenoe?
