Calculate Fuel Engine Fuel Consumption per hour
- Thread starter 10sam
- Start date
You can convert lbs to gallons if you know the density of the fuel. Then for a given engine speed, you can look up the horsepower.
Multiply horsepower, brake specific fuel consumption, and the inverse of the density of the fuel (units of gallons/lb). This will give you gallons per hour.
