Pete McCrary Posted December 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Checking my notes concerning the check-ride for the Tohatsu 3.5 (with new fuel pump) shows distance covered at 21 nm, 4.9 hrs running time, and using ~ 2.4 liters of fuel. (NOTE: the estimate of 2.4 liters is WRONG! The measured number is 2.9 liters). Typical speed ~ 4 to 5 knots, rpm ~ 3,000 to 4,000. Fuel rate ~ 0.4 liters/hr (error, should be .6 liters/hr). Mileage ~ 8.75 nm/liter (error, should be 7.24 nm/liter). But the running time included about 15 minutes of dockside idle -- so the traveling fuel rate and mileage were actually higher. EDITED ON DECEMBER 13. Note corrections shown above. Fuel rate: 0,6 liters/hr Mileage: 7.24 nm/liter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
