Ever since I bought the boat new in 2001 (it's a 2002 2510 MVWA) i have never been able to get more than 80 gals of usable fuel out of her. The tank is listed as 126 gals. I called the factory back in '02 (after running out of gas twice - FlowScan was saying I had at least 40 gals left) and they thought my pickup tube might be short. I checked it and it was to factory spec (12 or 13", can't remember now). The dealer had no idea. After some time I just accepted that I had 80 gals. Understand, I can't put more than 80 gals into her when she is "out".
So I just joined Classic Parker and am throwing this out there. Any one else had/has this problem. One recent thought i had: the vent pipe might be too long (going too far into the tank, preventing me from filling more than 80 gals). Only thing is, it is welded into the tank and there is no way to check it.
Feedback please ...
