You are incorrect in your observations and obsessions.

With all due respect, that is crap. Everyone who has a legitimate

harassed.

Get a life (outside the news group).




MeAgain posts here under about two dozen different user names, including
the names of other posters here, and it looks as if if he is now using a
couple of anonymizers. to try to antagonize those he doenst like. He's
also real vague about himself. He's a troll.



Obsessions?????

You pollute this newsgroup with two dozen identities and take potshots all
day long at krause and post with his identity and you think I am obsessed?

Look in the mirror, buckwheat. Obsession is thy name.

All I want from you is a bit of decent behavior.




The real ME April 11th 05 02:42 PM

SoFarrell,

I am curious, why are you so obsessed with me?

If your boat holds 120 gallons of fuel and you plan on spending a few
hours cruising or making a quick run to the reef and back, it doesn't
make sense to fill your tank every time you go out. That full 700# will
cost you more to carry around. I try to start with about twice as much
gas as I think I will use. If I'm trailering, I'll fill it up since the
gas on shore is so much cheaper than the fuel docks.

Agreed for that situation. But would it not be more fair to start out full
of fuel and then top off when you get back. That way you know exactly how
much you burned.



That would be more accurate, if I wanted to take the time to do so every time I
go out. But, I don't.

For under $150, you can install a fuel-flow meter and be done with it.
You can probably install it yourself.



Thanks, I didn't see Harry's response to my post (he's filtered). Every year I
consider flow meters, but never do anything about it. Maybe this year I'll break
down and do something. But then I have to figure out where to put the gauge. Not
a lot of places to do it on my console. Any recommendations as to type?

John,

I've got a spare - brand new, in the box, and all manuals. Email me
(minus the XXX) and I'll make you a great deal. I would send this
directly but your email address is probably not going to work! Same
deal for anyone else but John gets the first shot at it. I would post a
price but that would be ... spam.
