All the 12 gallon ones I've looked at had that feature. I need to find me a station near my house or at least on the way to the ramps that sells ethanol free gas.

Isn't it designed that way so you have reserve fuel? Tilt it up and get the rest, never tried it myself though

No, because you have to take off the cap and use a stick to push the pickup tube over to the fuel as you balance it on its corner and run the boat at the same time. It hit the UDS trash can :thumbsup:

There's an app or website that shows the stations with ethanol free gas in your area. Let me see if I can find it.

You are correct. The only thing that makes it premium is the amount and quality of the detergents in the fuel and the octane.

Are you going to get a GoPro to film the awesomeness?

A rig that runs like that deserves to be recorded and shared, I bet it hauls ass.

Hmmmm I didn't know. I never had anything to compare it to. This boat and my other boat aren't even close to being the same.

I don't think I get 10mpg out of my 40hp. Never actually figured it out though.
