Ok after a few weeks in Europe, and Easter coming, oh and 2 weeks of crap weather since I have been back. The last couple of times we have been out, I was aware we below my minimum fuel level, 80L per side, which I monitor by fuel flow meters.
So I went down to the boat this morning (Sunday) as we were going to a friends for lunch, to refuel the boat for next weekend.
I decided to put 200l a side in, as theta should have sat me about 3/4 full.
It was blowing a gale, but I managed the boat out of the pen and onto the fuel wharf by myself, oops had the Labrador with me!
When the first tank clicked off at 170L I was scratching my head, then the port clicked off at 163. Figure I have forgotten to reset the meters sometime in the last few months.
The plus side was getting away from the marina with a dry dog! First time for everything
