[QUOTE="Old Bill, post: 30910, member: 252"] Ron, you are making great progress with the work on your boat! I have a Nissan 4 HP four-stroke motor (boosted to 6 HP) and it will burn less than one quart of gasoline an hour. If your 6 HP motor is a two-stroke, it would be my guess that it will burn one quart or slightly more in an hour. If so, a three gallon fuel tank should last you all day. Based upon my experiences with small outboard motors I would strongly suggest that you spend $22.00 and buy a fuel water separator and install it between your fuel tank(s) and the motor. The idle and main jets on the smaller motors are very small and tend to blockage with all the trash and water in todays gasoline!

Keep the photos coming! [/QUOTE]
