Oh dear, that suddenly adds a whole new dimension . Would 10 days be long enough if we factor in hangover recovery time as well?

Anyway, how's the head after last nights homebrew session? I've still got that 'cloying' taste from the takeaway, and apparently I'm exuding enough aroma to keep the devil away for at least a month

The head is crystal clear!

Thanks for a superb evening, the best time I have had this year.

Just for interest, these are the average fuel prices for Le Havre fuel prices. Obviously it is roadside costs, but at least we've got an idea if we have to carry it from petrol stations further down the trip.

I've been trying to work out how much this journey will cost me. Assuming a 750 nm round trip, about 10 containers of HD100, £500 flash money and the possibility of several nights' hotel accomodation, then the bill won't be far off £3,000. There's no way Little One is going to agree to that. I'll work on her, but I may have to pull out.

I'm trying not to. I'd like to think it's not going to cost £3k but if it's too much don't pull out, jump on mine instead. It'd just be nice to get as many ribs going as possible.

How much? Hopefully you just need a new calculator cos it put the decimal point in the wrong spot.

seen this I presume

It'll be at least £2,500 I'm afraid; it's a long way at 1.5 litres a mile!

Better than my 2.5l per mile @ 10 knots

Excellent find Erin, if you want to just translate that and repost it....

Told you that 4-strokes were the way forward .

I'll try and interpret the important bits out of the pdf, and see what I can make of it.

I still maintain that Paul's engine should perform much much better than 1.5 lpm.

Even so, working to the ubiquitous 1:1 ratio it is a long way. Ergo, a lot of juice.

Well, it is a V6, 3.5 litre two-stroke I suppose. It could be worse of course; it could be a Verado.

At least from the range point of view, as I've got 600l capacity that gives me nearly 450 km between fill ups, enough to get from Rouen to Paris and back...just...maybe...

In that case I think I'll just buy a transfer pump and siphon some out of yours when you're not looking

Surely you'd just run on one though alternating every 50 miles

10 kts on 1 engine = 2700rpm & 28 lph
10 kts on 2 engines= 2200rpm & 24 lph (12+12)
