Fuel Tank Capacity?

[rcyoung]

Anyone know how many gallons the tank holds? This is the v Berth layout where the tank with the large inspection port is located behind the companion way. The tank has a dipstick in the port lazerette but that is difficult to see the fuel. I wood dowel works better in that regard. 

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Bob

Pathfinder valve adjustment shim kit.  

Below is the link for valve adjustment shims for the Pathfinder engines.  From what I can tell they went to a hydraulic lifter in 1986.

Also, it looks like my email to the POA google owners group bounced back. Anyone know how to fix that?

My fuel tanks hold about 130 gallons total (port=54, stbd=76). My port
tank is likewise in a cockpit lazarette, and the stbd tank is under the
bunk in the quarterberth. I have the pullman layout, but I don't see why
that matters with respect to the fuel tanks. Agree, a dowel is much
easier to read than the SS dipstick. If I don't have a dowel handy I lay
the SS dipstick against a strip of paper to quickly indicate the fuel
level without a lot of squinting and fussing around.

It sounds like a later model with a single tank. If so it holds about 70gal

A wood dowel works well

Thank you. I should have mentioned she is a 1987. Now that you made me think of it, I guess it's her 30th birthday this year!

Having just run out of fuel and refilled the port fuel tank, I can
testify that it holds 55 gallons of diesel @ $3/gallon. Now trying to
run out of fuel on the starboard tank. More later!
