50 gallons - it's identical to a Stratos same size.

Thanks for the reply. I pumped 45 gals to fill 3/4 tank (my tank read
1/4 gal before fill). We used the motor for two 15 minute runs and five
10 minute idle periods and the gauge indicated I used 3/8 of a tank of
gas. This seems to be an extremely high rate of gas consumption. Any
thoughts?

Gauge accuracy?

Probably a 50 gallon tank.

Were your 15 minute "runs" at WOT?. If they were, probably burning in the
range of 20~25 GPH. 0.375 X 50 = 18.75 gallons used according to gauge
"estimate". Add your two 15 minutes runs to 50 minute idle time and seems
like you're within the accuracy of gauge.

Thanks again. To clarify my tank read full after fill. We ran at close
to max for both 15 minute periods. What is WOT?
