Rotax 582 consumption

[GDN]

Hello i've just install a fuel flow on my kitfox and want to know if it has a camel consumption.

I burn 15l/h at 5800 rpm or 4 gallon/h. at a speed of 80 mph

And you ?

GDN,
Had a 582 in the nose of my KF IV for 12 years. It would use 5 Gallons/hr at 6000 rpm.

At a high cruise setting, ~5400 rpm, I burn about 3.3 gph on my 912UL, 80 hp.

[JimS]

Plan on using 3.5 gal/hr with a 912.

What fuel consumption are the Jabiru 2200 owners experiencing?

I generally potter along at 75-80mph @5400rpm burning about 12 litres per hour.

Some guys claim a lot better, but I burn about 4.5 GPH at a cruise of 80-85 MPH in my Avid MK IV with an 80 HP Jabiru for engine. RPM is about 2700. With my 582 that I had before in the Avid, I would burn about 3.5 GPH, but I usually ran about 5200 RPM with it. Cruise with the 582 was about 75 MPH.

Bearing in mind that GDN, the creater of this thread, lives in France, and this correspondent lives in Ireland, we should be aware that US gallons (3.79 litres) are smaller than Imperial gallons (4.54 litres). In the interest of consistency, for the purpose of this discussion at least, it might be better to express / calculate fuel burn in litres. Didn't an Air Canada crew encounter this issue in the eighties when their mathematical miscalculation turned their B747 into a glider?!
