we used to carry an extra 20 or 30 gallons in a 35 gallon plastic drum. the top of the drum was fitted with a quick connect and a primer bulb. we usually ran that fuel out first and then lashed the drum to the bow and ran from the belly tank.

When I got my V. the 60 gallon tank had been replaced with a 26 gallon tank, so I did carry 5 extra gal in a regular plastic can when going offshore, but never needed it.

Now with the 40 gallon tank I put in, I rarely use a half tank running all day with my Johnzuki 140 4 stroke.

Sounds like a run to Andros for square grouper in the early 80's.
