I just purchased a 28 te new. Anyone have fuel consumption with
the 315
yanmar?
I had a patient tell me that his Albin 28 cruised at 18 knots with a
burn rate of 13 gph. I found those numbers hard to believe, but
amazing if true. Let us know.
A new 28 True World Marine (planning hull) with a 315 Yanmar on a
jack shaft
does 30 mph cruise while burning approx. 6-7 gph. And 40 mph top end
burning 10 - 11 gph
Capt. Bill
Come on Capt. you????, not Chucky of course but ...... :-)
Approx 6-7 gph??? is this one of those Chucky help make a sale
"approx" gals?? or a standard US gal???
Best you get some references where Yanmar themselves have publicly
made claims anything like that, they haven't I can assure you they'd
get well sued, probably by Cat or Cummins etc:-). The best you'll find
are vague "testimonials" about this & that, never any proper numbers.
The boating magazines print this type of nonsense all the time,
everyone knows they're inexperienced simpletons, but it's well out of
order for the manufacturers to even allow such false marketing BS to
remain uncorrected.
Actually, the inexperienced simpleton is you. Most of the boating
magazines that publish "testing results" know how to hook up and read a
fuel flow meter. And their writers actually have access to boats.
Unlike you.
Dear dear dear again Krause you confirm what a liar you are & certainly
not a boat owner of any boat much less of a 36ft lobster boat with a big
Cummins inside
Also try to keep in mind my OBs like Yanmar use Toyota diesels as the
core, so I just "might" have better first hand knowledge of this than
most here; but hey always happy to check anything, so what on the point
information have you got to say????? what?? nothing on the fuel usage
grams/KW/hr??? nothing???......nothing at all??? as usual.
The particular injection pump used on these engines is high bypass, so
if any of these magazine simpletons tell you they "hook up & read a fuel
flow meter" for one of their marketing "tests" on these indeed most
marine diesels (NB not all), just giggle; as we do.
You might one day own a real boat Krause, instead of your endless lies
then by all means come along here & join in the boating discussions this
can be a good informative NG, gee it'll help even you to learn a bit
about boats.
Till then............
If you want confirmation what a load of marketing fluff these magazine
tests are mostly written by simpletons for simpletons, have a read of
some of your mates spam posted he-)
