Figure 3 or 4 hours to the gallon unless you are running it wide open.
Our old Westerly 28 had a 9 gallon tank and it used to last several
months.

OK... both you and Roger are leaning towards about 3 hrs per gal
conservatively. At 5 knots "cruise", a 12 gal tank would give me about
150 miles, with 2 gals reserve. Sounds OK (although I'll still get the
19 gal if I can get it to fit! The 12gal will definitely fit.)

On a Yamaha 30 with a Yanmar 2GM13, I got about 1.5 litres/hr, if I
remember correctly.
