[C38] Fuel Consumption

[Dick Kilroy]

Steve: Because the fuel gauge didn't work on our passage from Bermuda to Virgin Gorda and we ended up powering for 3 days, we took the sender unit off the tank filled it to the top with the 5 gallon jugs replaced the sender, powered for 12 hours removed sender again , measured space to fuel, and calculated usage. The 5424 used 1/3 gallon per hour @ 1800 RPM. The 30 should not be much more @ that RPM.

  As the Puget Sound is relatively small and there are lots of options for fuel I have never really paid close attention to fuel consumption, I was wondering if anyone has and what is the fuel burn rate for our boats with the M30?   Thanks.
