@ Matt that is usually what I do. I just run by the pump before I launch. But my tank is relatively small, so if we are planning an all day boat trip sometimes it might be nice to have a spare. One time we launched at 9 am and by 4 I didn't feel comfortable towing anymore based on what my gauge said so we went back to the dock, loaded onto the trailer, went got gas, and came back. Next time I know I need to just have some extra tanks in the truck. But I "think" I probably still had a couple of hours left in the tank, but didn't want to chance it and be stranded. That's all. Like I said, its never happened. Maybe I just need a new gas gauge...
