Fuel Consumption (005-010)
Measure (005-010-010)
Refer to the fuel consumption checklist sheets in the back
of Section TS.
NOTE: The most accurate method to check the fuel con-
sumption is to weigh the fuel used. Use a scale capable of
measuring within 0.045 kg [0.1 lb] to weigh the fuel tank.
Use a remote-mount tank with enough capacity to run 80
km [50 mi].
Fill the fuel tank. Weigh the tank with the fuel. The weight
on No. 2 diesel fuel is nominally 0.844 kg per liter [7.03
pounds per gallon].
Install the remote tank (1).
Install the return fuel line to the test tank, or the results will
not be accurate.
