Can anyone advise about the rate of fuel consumed by a pair of 150 hp Cummins diesels? The boat is a 40' Kha Shing -- perhaps going 8 knots? Any advice would be great.
Little more information on the motors would be helpful. Are they 4BT3.9 (4 cylinder turbo), or 6B5.9 (6 cylinder natural), or something else? Other information on the boat would also be helpful such as the displacement and draft to determine the load on the motors.

LOA 40'

Draft
Displacement
Cruising speed 8 knots
