Bavaria 30 cruiser fuel consumption
« on: July 13 2022, 10:11 »
Can anyone tell me what the fuel consumption is likely to be for my Bavaria 30 cruiser? The fuel gauge is-not working, so need to know for longer journeys before I fix it?

1.7-2l an hour, probably at the lower end if you have a 20hp engine.

At 2600rpm on a d1-20 then about 1.5l/h.  Consumption goes up quite a bit at 3000rpm.  If you budget on 2l/h that should be on the safe side.  As you'll know, it can be hard to fully fill the tank before it starts frothing and the gun cuts out. So maybe assume you don't start with a really full tank unless you dribble in the last 5-10 litres.

Hi, I’m on a tour with the Bav 34, 29HP MD2030 and my consumption is also arround 2 l/h (high end, probably less; will see after refilling). Motoring at   ~2200 rpm / 5,5 kts over 30h in the last week.
