Minx Fuel Tank Size

[rbarna]

Anyone know the size in gallons of the Minx tank?

I've got a fuel flow meter installed but need to know the size before I can tell much of anything about how much fuel I have.

I know the tank was replaced before I bought it, so hopefully it's the same size as stock?

Thanks!

I found 40gal in searching... Guess that's a good starting point. Maybe I'll start at 35? is 5 gallons a safe reserve?

I put 36 gallons and change in my Minx when I owned it.

The drawing says 42 gallons but with the boat trim, it's doubtful you can get that in.
I had an additional inch added to the top of mine and it was nearly 45 gallons.

Assuming it's 40, how low is safe to run it? I'm going to work on the assumption that when my fuel flow meter gets down around 10, it's time to go over to the fuel dock.

brochure says 40 gallons

Here's the RDS drawing.
I was suffering from a faulty memory.....it's 41 gallons, not 42 like I stated previously.
When I had mine built, they increased the height by 1" which increased the capacity to a little over 44 gallons.
