Hi, welcome to the site. I have one of these boats and they are amazing. They go like the clappers and are not particularly heavy on fuel for the power they give out. The tank holds about 140 litres of fuel which currently equates to about 160 euro but you would be all weekend knocking away at that unless you want to travel all around the country!! They also use two stroke and don't ask me how big the tank is because I fill it every now and then and thats it.

It's a Great boat, and fair on fuel - It depends on what your doing with it, When I pull the larger tubes(3 person) or run wide open, it like it's fuel as does any boat.
I've only thing go bad on mine was the fuel sender fuse blow, which I repaired via the directions. I just purchased a set of replacement spark plugs - I have been running with the originals till now and just recently had it stall out several times so I figure it's time to replace them.
As for the oil reserve tank it holds 3 gallons. I've never put that much in but once I put in almost 2 gallons. I usually top it off every 2 or third tank of fuel.
