Hi, I bought my first jet ski a few months back a kawasaki Tandem sport and the gas tank doesnt look very big at all. I think its maybe 5 gallons at the max. Anyway, it only takes me like an hour tops to run it all out and I was wondering whether or not I need a tune up or is it something I have to live with?? Also is there a bigger gas tank I could transplant in there??

Re: Can I make my gas last longer??

You left out the important part. How hard do you drive it? Is your desire to get more mileage strong enough to get you to drive slow? <br />Everything is a tradeoff. If you tool around like an upstanding citizen your gas will last much longer. But every time you drop the hammer your supply of gas gets smaller in a hurry. <br />Horsepower requires gas. More horsepower requires more gas. <br />If you wanna' play, you gotta' pay.<br />Charlie

Actually Bondo they're quite fuel efficient compared to boats. If I could get my boat to run WFO for an hour at 5gph I'd, well, I don't know what I would do because it will never happen. :)
