[C38] Are diesel engines significantly more fuel efficient than gas?

[Jeffry Matzdorff]

Thanks everyone for your input! 

I will be delivering a Catalina 38 home from Hawaii to Seattle after TransPac this summer,  and wanted to confirm my thoughts on fuel I will carry aboard for the trip.

Cheers!

PS- Catalina 38 is a great boat!

  While our fuel tank sending unit is currently nonfunctional, I can vouch for this based on Dick's stats and Check's In The Mail's recent travails when motoring.

    Aloha,

     

    I was hoping someone could give me an idea of the fuel consumption at various RPMS for the Universal 24 hp engine.

     

    Also, associated speeds at the various RPMs in flat water.

     

    Cheers,
