[C320-list] Westerbeke fuel consumption

[charles walsh]

I have hull #317 equipped with the 30B and get about 2 litres per hour at 2800 rpm.  Sometimes a little more and sometimes a little less.  I run engine at 2500 but tach is running slow around 300 rpm. Did you ever have your tach checked electronically?  Could be your running faster than tach indicates.

  I think I'm seeing fuel consumption of around 2.5 litres per hour from 
  my Westerbeke 30B running at around 2500 rpm. Has anyone with this 
  engine got figures which are similar, or very different? Just for 
  reassurance...
