Fuel Consumption declined
from 19.1 gal / hour to 17.4 gal / hour
post Fitch installation
|
|
| Summary: The engine picked up 2
HP, increased fuel efficiency by 1.7 gallons per
hour. Exhaust temperature was 5 degrees cooler.
Firing Pressure rose 29 PSI. Firing pressures
are a result of fuel and air mixtures and the
percentages of the fuel burnt. The more complete
the burn in the combustion chamber, the higher
the firing pressures will be. Results of this
test indicate fuel economy increased 10% without
any loss of power. |
