Q2: what method can be used to indicate then a boat's fuel tank is nearing full capacity?
I notice [on this particular boat that] when filling the boat's tank to full capacity the only way I find out the tank is full is when gasoline overflows the fuel opening on the boat. The pump hose does not automatically shut off from back pressure.
ASIDE: I have the 1998 17 Outrage II with an internal fuel tank capacity of 56-gallons. For winter storage I will be filling tank to full capacity and adding [STA-BIL] fuel additive.
