Fuel use meter?

[Scott Danforth]

Somebody renting a boat for an hour or two for a boat ride isn't going out to battle wind and waves for an afternoon.

A valid point if calculating actual consumption, but your not. Your calculating worst case consumption to come up with a flat rate fee to add to your hourly rate.

Boat rental companies down here are 4 hour or 8 hour blocks. Plus you must join their service

Unless I’m reading this wrong. The only way you can legally bill your customers for fuel used, is to fill the tank from a certified pump after they bring it back in, and sell them that fuel you pumped. This also gives them the option to fill the tank and avoid the fees themselves if there is a fuel station on the body of water your rental fleet is.
