Warning on Rosie's fuel pumps!
I **** near ran out of gas but I didn't know it. I got 150 gallons at $5.90 a gallon and would have only needed about 75. When I got back I filled up here and it took 145 gallons per side in 150 gallon tanks. After careful calculation and even checking my fuel flow calibration (it was off by less than 10% on 280 gallons) I warned a few buddies. They measured their fuel they took on the pump is off by 40%!!!!!!!!! So I paid not $5.86 but 8.24 per gallon and **** near ran out of fuel in 9' seas coming home and had no idea I didn't have 60 + gallons left.
Take a 5 gallon jug and fill it.
and I got a filter full of shells.. and a screw.

I did not read the story but if you take tax payers money maybe you should be held to some standards.-Cyclist

Confirmed by others now that the pumps are WAY off on flow.

because your post can hurt Rosie unjustly. I will post the videos for what that's worth.
NOW, I have full videos of the test but only posted the final results of each test. After all, watching gas being pumped is like watching grass grow.
Good point, 40% off on a 6 gal tank would yield only 3.6 gallons, hard to miss that. Plus they could buy a lot of bush crack beer for the ~$14 screw at the pump. Thanks for doing the test Clark.
If you were checking out, all the charges on your bill seam to run together and the fuel price could have been easy to over look.

I'll also tell you that another member went after my trip and did check and came back with the difference that matched mine. He also told them about it so they very well could have (should have)corrected it... I hope they did.
I'm not trying to cause trouble with the man but it would take me about 100-110 gallons to get home the route we ran had a following sea or ran the trough all the way.
I'll am serious about monitoring my fuel burn when I go on long trips as I've been doing 300miles + on my 300 gallon tanks. I've changed to slick paint on the cat and measured fuel burn with different a ablatives and this seaspeed paint to maximize it. I KNOW MY FUEL BURN. And 150/gallons is MORE than enough to get me home plus I had enough left to almost make it home already. At least across the bank. There is no way I got .5 MPG, my Suzukis simply can't do it.
Even if my flow meter has issues it wouldn't be both sides.
My warning here is NOT about the fuel costs.. I don't care if he charges $10/gallon, God bless him if he gets that. I nearly ran out of fuel...
I hope it's all fixed but I also know next time I'll fill a 5 gallon jug first ANYWHERE over there and WILL USE my Mr Funnel which I ordered in the double filter so I can go almost full speed filling up.

so problem the problem was solved before Big Dog made his video?
Big Dog can you comment?
Rosie is rebuilding the fuel dock and up dating the equipment. Yes it may take all year to get completed after all the wheels turn very slow in the Bahamas. They are on "Island Time"
Great Fishing to you all
