I ran out of gas once in my life, I was over a mile offshore and couldn't get cell service, I had a single tank that held right at 10-gallons, and got lucky that another boat came along about an hour later and gave us some gas to get us back, and the very next day I went down and bought another tank that held 6 gallons, and from then on I ran on the 6-gallon tank going out, and once it ran out I didn't go any farther, and would switch over and had the 10-gallon tank to get me back.

As a commercial fisher, this is mentioned in many courses like the med/masters ticket/iroc radio operator certificate

@vernongandy9026 10 месяцев назад

People used laugh at my four fuel cans. I could fish all day and have spare gas for stranded boaters.

@chrisanthony579 11 месяцев назад

Rule of thirds also applies to air when scuba diving. 1/3 to destination, 1/3 to return 1/3 if something bad happens and helps keeping you from running out of air. Run out of air and your family is going to have a very bad day.

@tonyrhoton6613 10 месяцев назад

Most of us can only afford a 3rd.

@lukeclarke1068 11 месяцев назад

Was told this when I first got my boat license over 10 years ago now. Have to account for tide wind and or any other issues that may arise.

@youtubecomments5951 10 месяцев назад

I use half my fuel I don’t use 1/3. Cause going there is farther than coming back. Coming back the line is straight as can be. Going there I’m going back forth running around etc.

Nothing but truth

@fredsmith6324 11 месяцев назад

Good advice!

So in canoes "fuel" is beers

@jacka55six60 11 месяцев назад

Depends on the speed and direction of current.

@joethomas6457 10 месяцев назад

small boats. I use 2. 6gl tanks. when a gal left I switch tanks. turn back similar system

@theone4929 11 месяцев назад

I've never heard anybody say that but that has been my rule all along because it just makes sense, one third out, one third in, one-third reserved. Also consistent speed because the faster you go the less miles per gallon👍

@mattwaters6987 11 месяцев назад

Good rule to use. Thanks Wayne. 👍😊🚤

@WayneTheBoatGuy 11 месяцев назад

You bet!

@avantgardedntl 11 месяцев назад

Thank you. Will keep that in mind.

@xersis31 9 месяцев назад

I like to do 1/4 if it's possible so when you get home he's only burned a half a tank

@SuperGreenshades 11 месяцев назад

Shouldn't it be 1/4 cause what am I using for riding around once I get there the reserve? Honest question

@huntershew23 11 месяцев назад

Of all the RU-vid boating “gurus” Mr Wayne and the guys at TBN know their s**t, love the content for sure have helped this young seafaring lad a many a day!!!!!

Rule if thirds is from photography

@NEOSPORIN7777 11 месяцев назад

and bring a pale if you go more than half.

@davescheer5038 11 месяцев назад

🌴. 🤔Hummm, is the tank half empty or half full ? My theory is the tank wasn’t big enough to begin with !!! 👈🏻

@Kana0211 11 месяцев назад

I went to empty and rowed back..

@michaellingo640 11 месяцев назад

Been using half out and half to get back. Don't really care if I run out of gas on the pontoon. The wife has a designated paddle with her name on it.

@WayneTheBoatGuy 11 месяцев назад

That's one way to do it!

@michaellingo640 11 месяцев назад

@@WayneTheBoatGuy Just joking of course. I have on occasion been guilty of 1/2 and 1/2 but your suggestion will be utilized on our next outing, thanks for the knowledge.

@RambroPrime 11 месяцев назад

Someone seeing this after burning over 1/2 of their tank to get to the spot 😁

@user-ee9vc6wy8t 11 месяцев назад

Never heard of 1/3 just always burned 🔥 gas ⛽️ like it's free

@WayneTheBoatGuy 11 месяцев назад

lol

@lastminuteprepping143 11 месяцев назад

My boat holds 88 gallons!!! If I’m using a third just to get to where I fish, I’m going to the store to by my fish!

@tw1536 10 месяцев назад

My boat holds 110g, I often use 1/3 and sometimes a touch more to get on the tuna, you got it so use it.

@scottford8736 11 месяцев назад

Yep

@nuffdoggiggey4103 11 месяцев назад

But I didn't make it to my destination. I'm at the inlet. I need to be 49 miles out.

@WayneTheBoatGuy 11 месяцев назад

Uh oh!

@fredsmith6324 11 месяцев назад

Don't go that far. Didn't you see the movie the perfect storm?

@TappingDasVein 11 месяцев назад

Never thought about that before

@WayneTheBoatGuy 11 месяцев назад

I learned it when I was using two 6 gallon portable tanks. Someone told me to never run the first one too low before heading home.

@donkunkilluminati2412 11 месяцев назад

What if it takes half a tank to get were you need to be 😂

@WayneTheBoatGuy 11 месяцев назад

Better bring a spare jug just in case!

@CRuM770 11 месяцев назад

Maybe use your brain a little when you are planning your trip instead of using ridiculous rules of thumb. I can use ¾ of my fuel heading upstream and still have plenty for the return trip. I can use about ⅔ of my fuel going full throttle on still water to my destination and still have enough fuel to casually cruise back. If i am starting out heading downstream leeward, I will only use 20-25% of my fuel so I have enough to get back. Dont teach people to be brainless.
