I have a six gallon, plastic type, tank. I can't imagine any larger size fitting there.

The Tempo 7.5 gallon (9Gas) just fits in the newer style gas locker.

While the product description is correct, the picture in the link shows a different model. This is what it really looks like...

I have a Honda 6.6 gallon tank sitting on the platform in the locker. Sitting just below it (on the bottom) is a 3.5 gallon backup tank. All I have to do is switch the fuel line between them. Two tanks are easier to handle than one.

I just bought a 6.5 gallon from West Marine that fits nicely. I wish I'd thought to go to Boaters World for the extra gallon, but no big deal. I use the 3 gallon tank that came with my new engine as a "spare" that sits in the rear of my cockpit (by the scuppers). I'm too paranoid about fumes to put the spare down below where it can't be vented.
So I essentially have 9 gallons which is probably good enough for 10 or 12 hours of motoring. I haven't measured how much time I have available (per gallon?) hmmm seems like a good idea so I know my limits.
I have a Suzuki 9.9 4 stroke.
(God I love electric start). I hit a piling one time trying to hand start an OLD evinrude 2 stroke.
