I'm guessing that's a Ficht motor? If so, figure maybe 2.5-3 mpg to be safe for range calculation purposes. Better too much gas than not enough. Maybe go with 2 tanks if it sits a lot between trips so you don't have to store a large amount of gas for a long time. Be sure to use a good Racor water separating filter with the plastic bowl that you can drain to check for water after every trip.
