2003 Carver 396 Fuel Capacity
- Posted by: mobinakhtar » August 29th, 2019, 11:51 pm
- Forum: Gas Engines/Transmissions
Hello Folks,
After a month and a half of dry-storage for a full bottom job, some fiberglass repair, wax, buff, etc got the boat on the water. This Boat is new to me, and fuel tanks were empty/filled with watery gas when I got it, so I had them pumped. Fresh 20 ga each tank I took off for fuel station and starboard engine died after about 1.5 miles. I figured either gas evaporated or tanks are too big for 20 ga (4 of 5-Gal red pales each). Another possibility is that guy pouring in gas miscounted the gas going in that one tank as the engine started back after fillup.
My fuel gauges are inop right now possibly due to senders stuck on E, being low on fuel for over a year. but real worry to me is that each tank seems to only take 90 Gallons. Per my manual, specs, and web, 2003 Carver 396 fuel capacity is 365 gallons total with two 180 Ga fuel tanks. I am only getting half that and tanks are full to the brim.
PO told me one of the senders was stuck on E and the other one worked. Now both are on E. Not moving at all. I also cannot get any power to cockpit electronics (radar, depth finder, etc - this has to be a flip switch or breaker as I tested them before the bottom job. I am sure I am not flipping something right - first Carver.
Am I missing something? Is there a valve, a third tank or something. Were some made with 90 Gal tanks? Really confused because, with twin 8.1L and genny, I am not sure what range will I have. Please help. First big gas boat for me.
