I can't, but to find the capacity of mine, I looked and there was a little tag near the sender which gave the particulars of my tank - including capacity. (110 gallons)

This is not an engine problem. It is a Boat question.<br /><br />Moving to Boats.

No problem - I only learned by looking! (I'm naturally curious ;) ) Somewhere on your deck, above the fuel tank there is more than likely an inspection plate. Just pry it up, (or unscrew it as the case may be - depends upon the style), and it should be there. I believe most boats have a plate above the sender area. On my boat, (a 24' Sportcraft) there is also a large cover over the entire fuel tank. That is also removeable. You will have to do some exploring! :D
