Not checked particularly, but I think mine uses about 2-3 litres/hour, on a 40' yacht. I know I should know, but we've got a 500litre tank, which I don't let get too low so never really been worried.

Hi
In "sail assist" mode running at approx 1500 rpm we used circa 2 ltrs per hour and working hard circa 6 ltrs per hour. This was on a 30 foot heavy weight bilge keel boat with a 18 by 12 3 blade prop. The perky when running light seems to be very economical
Hope this helps

I would have a go at folk who fail to use good descriptions on their thread titles. "perkins 4108 fuel consumption?" would have been more informative and an aid to others searching for info.
