The Purpose and Use of a Fuel Reserve Tank 6.1.7

Riding a PWC can be a ton of fun, so it is easy to lose track of time when you are darting about the waterways. But a PWC does not have room for oars to row ashore! Most PWCs have a built-in reserve fuel tank that holds a gallon of fuel. Keep a close eye on fuel levels, and head for shore if you have had to switch to the reserve fuel tank.
THE 1/3 RULE: When operating a PWC always abide by the 1/3 Rule; this means use 1/3 of your fuel to operate, keep 1/3 of your fuel to get back to shore and keep the other 1/3 as a reserve in case of emergency.
