i am guessing you are right joe. i was in a delusional state where i thought i might avoid that if i could.
cig3 when you say the pick up do you mean the pipe or the sender pick up ? ie i might end up throwing 10 gallon in before it hits the point where i am likely to suck fuel from or 10 gallon in where i am getting fuel but the it hasnt hit the float ?

so appx how many hours running time can you get gallons per hour or appx MPG if hooning it and then if you are cruising to go somewhere.
i actually have no idea what cruise speed might be 40mph ?
i am trying to get an idea or range as the boat will leave the UK and head out to the Balearic islands to live. i want an idea as to what islands i could hop and can i reach the mainland without towing a tanker behind me.
anything ideas in the ball park will help. i appreciate that i am asking the unanswerable.

I agree! Not sure if this is accurate since I've never calculated mine but I recall reading that something similar to this size would get around 2 to 2.5 miles per gallon. I hope there's fuel on that island because otherwise you need to factor in having enough to get you back

ah ok that's nice and simple then as equates to 3m to a UK gallon so a little of 6 miles to 10 litres.
so i have an appx range of about 180 miles on that basis.
From the island of mallorca to get to Ibiza is about 120 miles so thats pretty neat then.
