60 gallon tank and, from memory of the official figures, about 350 mile range at that sort of speed. I have a scanned copy of the official figures at home or rr-123 may notice the post as I think he got the originals with the boat.

About a gallon an hour at 6 knots. But at full whack a heck of a lot more.
