I have 2 150 gallon tanks, a total of 300 gallons in my boat and it can suck
down most of that quickly when running hard.
I could save quite a bit on gas if I could haul that much to the boat

Perhaps a better solution is to get some friends who like to go boating with
you and can share the cost of fuel. Anyone who likes boating ought to be
willing to share some of the costs. It is only fair.

It depends, but my guess is most marinas will discourage or flat out deny
you. Look at it from their perspective for a minute. Do you bring your own
food to a restaurant and ask to use their kitchen? How much gas are you
talking about? Are you really saving that much money in terms of the time
and effort to port a few gallons?

If you save .50 on 30 gallons, you are at $15. I look at it this way, I
have
limited amount of time to enjoy my boat, so why waste any of it? My time
is
more valuable to me than the amount I save by doing it all myself. Think
of
what you might save in that regard the next time you get to the marina and
your boat is gassed and ready for you to step on and go.

p.s. I now have my boat behind my house on a lift, but I used to keep one
at
a marina.

I'm sorry for being off topic but I cant seem to get an answer to my
question.
Hoping other boaters will help. I just bought a boat and it is in a
municipal
area with slips, not a marina. Can I refuel the boat out of 5 gal
approved
cans? I hate paying $1.99 a gal at a marina. What is the law if any.
Thanks,
Joe. Sorry for being off topic.
