Does 90 gph equal 4 t/day? Beats me. Fortunately, I've never had to buy
diesel by the ton. ;-)

90 gph is about a ton every 3 hours at roughly 7lbs/gal.


The guy I know who drives the tug was on a crew that picked up 3 in Japan
and drove them back to Oakland. The even fished for tuna on the trip with a
few hookups. That would probably make for a dent in the tankage. Since
they spend a week on the tug, maybe they only fuel up weekly?
