Pro Tips for Marine Engine Fuel Burn
- Fuel burn rate varies significantly with engine RPM and load — measure at your typical cruising speed for a representative figure.
- Use this rate alongside fuel tank capacity to estimate total range at a given speed.
Common Marine Engine Fuel Burn Mistakes to Avoid
- Using a fuel burn rate measured at one RPM/speed to estimate consumption at a very different operating speed, since burn rate isn't constant across the RPM range.
