    Running Out of Fuel - Half Full

    So I've replaced the pickup tube and added an anti siphon valve (to my surprise there was not one one attached to the pickup tube). Should I have added PTFE to the aluminum to aluminum fittings? I also replaced the water/fuel separator (which was quite empty) and the the fuel line to the...

    Running Out of Fuel - Half Full

    That is an idea, could I drop it in a portable gas can? Or do I need pressure? I've felt around and didn't notice any tubes or ridges.

    Running Out of Fuel - Half Full

    Thanks for the replies! I wouldn't suspect other wise, I have not issues with fuel starvation for the first 8 gallons. But perhaps? Wouldn't that effect the power all the time? I'll check that out today, although I've never had an issue filling up. I can visually tell that it becomes...

    Running Out of Fuel - Half Full

    Good day all, Ive been having an issue since buying my boat. I run out of fuel, but I can only pump 8 gallons into my 19 gallon tank. I assumed that it was a busted fuel pickup tube, but I took it out this weekend and it seems fine (I replaced it anyway). Any suggestions as to what else it...
