I’m looking for information on how much fuel my Detroit 4-53 natural engines return to the tank per hour of run time. I know they burn (approx numbers) 6.9 GPH @ 2000 RPM with 8.0 knot cruise. They burn 2.7 GPH @ 1400 RPM with 6.2 knot speed. But, I’m not sure the total gallons I’m running through each engine per hour. I saw a number of 2.3 times burn but that seems low for these engines.
