Fuel Tank size , Fuel guage Calibration

Postby HYDROHOLIC » Fri Aug 13, 2021 5:33 am

I have a new to me 1992 wellcraft 20 Fish. Seller claims it had a 60 gallon fuel tank. I can not find any documentation confirming. It has a 2018 Suzuki 200 HP outboard , all controls steering and gauges installed with My gauge was reading on dead empty I put 26 gallows of fuel in and it started coming out of the vent overflow. The gauge now reads 2/3rds full. Supposedly the sending unit was changed with new gauges.

Can anyone help with Ideas how to fix. Thanks

Measure the tank and convert. 1 cubic foot equals 7.48 gallons.
