Re: Leaking Ball valve

Hi Rob,
My engine is a Volvo Penta MD21B 61hp with 2000Hours, it uses about 5-6 Liters at 6 knots.
The fuel tanks are split in two with each having 135 litres "270 in total".
They are a great boat with lots of room for the size.

Re: Leaking Ball valve

Hey , thanks for replying. These boats seem quite rare in my patch. We are at Bribie Island , nth of Brisbane Queensland.

I’m running a Yanmar 55hp cruising 6-7kts (peaks at 9kts with the tide and wind on side.
Out a fuel consumption of 3.7-4 lph. Which I’m happy with.

I have two tanks that measure 500x1400x250 soi calculate that as 2x 175 (360L)

God knows I’d never afford to fill them all.

Nice to make your acquaintance
