Fuel consumption

Hi everybody,

I wonder if anybody could give me some idea of how much fuel the new engine will burn, and therefore I'll have a fair idea how much fuel I'll need.

She's an old Morgan-Giles 30, plated at 7.5ton. I've put a new Beta 10 in, and I've run her around the voe a good few times to run her in but I haven't any idea of fuel consumtion yet. A fair idea of gallon/hour would be handy as I don't think the mast will be up this year and that means that I have to motor down to the Fair Isle rather than sail.

 

Beta website should have plenty of info for you.

note the comments, "assuming the proper propeller loading"
The propeller and the loading will determine the hp required and hence the
fuel burn to produce whatever the prop requires for any set of conditions

 

Thanks folk. Should have spotted this, if I had my eyes open. B10 HE DataSheet REV 03 0319 https://betamarine.co.uk/resources/Data_Sheets/Seagoing/B10-DS/#page=2 shows 3 litres an hour on full throttle. That means that I can motor out of Delting Marina and moor at the Fair Isle 10 or 12 hours later. Great

 

My chevy twin 6.5 motors v8 300hp use 2ltrs an hour on tick over @ makes 6 knots with one litre returns from engines
