I recently bought a 2004 Crest Caribbean tritoon and can't seem to find an information plate on the fuel tank as to what size it is. The tank sits down kind of in the back of the center toon (the very back of the toon has something called a tapertoon, the bottom of which tapers down to basically no depth; I think that is something to adjust the transom height to accept different motor lengths). Due to this tapering causing a weird shape and the fact that i can't really get to it to be able to make reliable measurements, I can't just calculate the volume. I am guessing it is 20-25 gallons, but was wondering if anyone else might have one and know for sure.

Hello,
I have some write this you can read this
Determining the exact size of your fuel tank on the 2004 Crest Caribbean tritoon without access to an information plate or accurate measurements can be challenging.
you can try a few different approaches to get a better estimate:

Owner's Manual or Documentation: Check the owner's manual or any documentation that came with your tritoon. It might contain information about the specifications of the fuel tank, including its capacity.
Contact the Manufacturer: Reach out to Crest Pontoon Boats (the manufacturer of your tritoon) or their customer service for assistance. They might be able to provide you with the specifications or help you identify the fuel tank size.
Boat Forums and Online Communities: Visit boating forums and online communities dedicated to Crest Pontoon Boats or boating in general. Other owners of the same model might have encountered a similar question and could share their experiences and knowledge.
Professional Inspection: Consider having a marine mechanic or boat technician take a look at your tritoon. They might have experience with this model and can provide a more accurate estimate of the fuel tank size based on their expertise.
Physical Measurements: While you mentioned that accessing the fuel tank and making measurements is challenging due to its location, you could explore options for safely and accurately measuring the dimensions. This could involve removing panels or parts temporarily to gain access.
Estimate Using Fuel Consumption: If you have used the tritoon and know its average fuel consumption rate, you can estimate the tank size based on the range you've experienced. Keep in mind that this is a rough estimate and may not be as accurate as other methods. Popeyes Survey

Remember that safety is a priority when working on or inspecting your boat. If accessing the fuel tank requires any disassembly or potential risks, it's recommended to involve a professional to ensure proper handling and to avoid any accidents.

Drain it down if you can, then grab a 5 gallon gas can filled with fuel and go for a ride, or..siphon out as much as you can, then run on muffs until it runs iut of fuel. Take it to a station and see how much it takes..
Last summer I bought a different boat with a built in tank. No specs to be found without major dissasembly, so I siphoned out as much as I could. Let it run for an hour on muffs until it started to stumble. Went overvto gas station and it took just a dribble over 16 gallons, fugure it must be a 17 gallon tank. While filling it up, I watched the fuel gage, when it had 5 gallons in, I made a note on the gage, then again at ten gallons so I have an idea how much fuel I would have left in the tank. My avg trip is about 3-4 gallons, so when between the 5-10 gallon mark I refill.....
