how many diesel an hour?

[Guest]

I've just bought a Fairline 33 Targa with 2x 200hp diesel (volvo penta).
How many diesel will it take app. when I'll take it on cruising speed?

Do you know exactly which engines you have, if they are KAD's the local Volvo dealer has a plug in code reader which can also display exactly how many litres per hour each engine consumes, using data directly from the ECU, could be worth half an hours labour costs to take a test trip.

lookout online for this chap Graham Wignall, he's got a 29 I believe, should be able to help you no end, that or send him a private message.

I've got a 37ft Sealine with Volvo KAD43's (2x230hp)
and get on average 50 litres per hr
I guess you will do a bit better

I use about 65 lit/hr at 20 knots on a forty foot boat with 41bs - that is very appoximate as I tend just to top up at every stop and not bother with such tiresome calcs.
