What is interesting to me about  fuel tank discussions
is that when I am using my Syncro Westie for its
intended purpose - cruising around in the boondocks
and camping- the limiting factor seems to be water,
not fuel or propane.

Two people and a dog - we must go through three
gallons a day, minumum, which means we need more water
every five days. Propane for cooking and the fridge
lasts about three weeks, one week if we use the
Propex.
Gas - its usually pretty easy to find, and with an 18
gallon tank its never been an issue.
