fuel consumption Yanmar 42 passage

[Fred Bucci]

The other day a friend of mine asked me what the fuel consumption was on my 1990 passage 42' at 3,000 rpm's. I didn't have an answer for him as I have never really paid attention to this. Any suggestions?

Fuel Used.

On or 94 P-42 (Hull # 156) we used appox. 3/4 to 1 gal. per hr. over the course of each season. This however included the generator.For caulcations I used 3/4 gal. per engine hr. & 1/2 gal. per gen. hr. This was very close when guessing how much fuel would need to be added.However at 3,000 rpm's you are burning around 1 gal. / hr. perhaps more.

3/4 gal at 2700 rpm

I consume 3/4 of a gallon at 2700 rpm per hour on my 1990 P42. The odd thing is that my tank only holds 62 gals despite the specs calling for 70.

P42 fuel consumption

I have a 1990 P42 (hull #65) with a 62 HP Yanmar 4JH2-TE, and I burn 2/3 gallon per hour at 2,000 RPM and 1/2 gallon per hour at 1,200 RPM.
