Since as a new owner you will be making the first graphs for a "How Goes It?"

Please inform us how the simple rulles of thumb we work with , work out for you.

*14 tons should require between 1.3 and 3 hp/per ton* to cruise at most speeds.

So slow cruise (SLx .9) would be 14 times 1.3 divided by 20.

After you work out the various fuel burn and SL ratio, how about posting them?
*I have a Flowscan, but need to make adjustment if needed based on actual fuel consumption versus cumulative gauge readings.**That will need to be adjusted, sometime.* The engine*sounds "most happy" between 1600 and 2000 rpm.
