On a 65 degree F. day at sea level with 2500 RPM and about 29 inches MAP I burn about 16-16.5 gph at 60 LOP at FL230-240. I've never seen 15 gph at power and air density #s like the ones I referenced above. colyncase on earthlink wrote: > / Alan said,/ > /I suspect it would take > a 4 cyl (due to fuel burn), obviously, extra fuel that can fit within the TO > weight limit but who knows.../ > // > A IVP with 140 gals should be able to top that easily (that's about > 3340lbs with pilot) > ...but while I'm there, > Anybody have fuel flow numbers for a IVP at 250 knots/fl240 ? > My crude calculations say it should be less than 15GPH LOP > > Colyn > > / > /
