Jason: One gas can that holds 2.5 gal and a second holds 1.25 gal (both are made by No-spill). My 'rule' is collect fuel when I can (the corollary is dump porta-potti when can) even when I still have fuel. The Suzuki 4 burns about 1/4-gallon/hour at a cruise speed of 4.7-4.8 knots. August is the middle, usually, of the no-wind season so be prepared and go with the current.

Not sure how much a little engine pushing a little boat (M17) would consume, if the winds are not agreeable. David Scobie, how much fuel do you usually carry on your travels?
