I have a new 08 Puma. I know it holds a total of 52gal of gas, but dont know how this is distributed among the three tanks. How much does each hold? Also, how do most of you run out the gas-do you run out the tank under the seat first, which might keep the weight toward the rear for more speed, or do you run out the rear tanks first, which might improve hole shot? Thanks.

My P4 has the same set-up and i run the front tank first, then the rear tanks. Rarely do i fill all the tanks actually, but rather keep the rear full, and just enough in the front to “make the day”, unless im in a long distance tournament, then ill pack em all ! Most i know would rather just run the rear tanks on a normal day on the lake, and keep 5-10 gallons in the front for emergency fuel. D.

My 07 has 32 gal under seat and two 10 gal in the rear. The two in the rear are tied together. T. Moss, 2007 Puma – Mercury 250 ProXS Chickasha, OK

It is 32-33 gallon under seat and 10 gallons on each side in the back. People will run them different ways, the boats attitude is different depending on how you pack your fuel. When I ran a Puma I actually used the underseat fuel and never even put any at all in the rear tanks. PA uses the rear tanks and just a little reserve under the seats. Different strokes for different folks… Judd Lasiter

Most i know would rather just run the rear tanks on a normal day on the lake, and keep 5-10 gallons in the front for emergency fuel. Thats the way I run them. Ill put enough gas in the belly tank to get me 20 miles. Therefore, 6-8 gallons in the belly and pack the rear tanks (20 gallons). With that amount of fuel you should be able to do 80-90 easy in a day. The only time I would use more in the belly tank is if there a trip that was going to be over 80 miles round trip or if fuel availability was limited.

Hmm? There was a post on the FAQ section concerning this, though everyone has you pointed in the right direction. Those posts are on the main BCB FAQ page now and here is a link to one version. There are three different descriptions. BCB http://basscatowners.yuku.com/topic/4711
