Dt85 fuel.

[oconnorcal]

hi this might be a awkard one to answer but how much fuel should my dt85 be using. how far should 20liters of fuel go?

Lots of variables there.

Did you find out why it was overheating?

No I haven't had a chance to sort it yet. Hopefully I will get time again this weekend? I'm just trying to get a idea of how long a tank of fuel will last me assuming I get it fixed. So what kinda things effect fuel economy ?

Starting with a healthy, properly propped motor... type of craft, weight of craft, condition of hull, load, loading, trim, speed (throttle position), current, wind... I'm sure I've missed something.

Ok I get the point lol

Apples to oranges, but worth a look:

Be sure to continue with your other post as you address the overheating issue.
