The fuel consumption of a tugboat varies based on its size, engine type, and operational conditions. On average, a tugboat may use between 100 to 400 gallons of fuel per day, with some larger or more powerful tugs consuming even more during heavy operations. Factors such as towing load, speed, and duration of service also significantly influence fuel usage. Overall, specific consumption can vary widely based on the tug's design and operational demands.
It's "Tug-of-war". You can also use "Tug o' war."
Depending on the boats diesel, gasoline, or wind.
Just give this bell rope a tug whenever you want me, madam. A tug on the line brought an instant response.
The amount of fuel needed to travel 9 miles by boat depends on various factors, including the boat's size, type, engine efficiency, and speed. For example, a small motorboat might consume around 1-3 gallons of fuel per hour, while larger boats could use significantly more. To estimate fuel consumption accurately, check the boat’s fuel efficiency, often measured in gallons per hour at a specific speed, and calculate based on the time it will take to cover the distance.
If we're talking about gasoline/petrol, then yes as long as it meets the minimum octane required for your car. If you consider "boat fuel" as ethanol free fuel then yes absolutely you can. Using fuel containing ethanol in boats however creates problems.
kerosene or aviation turbine fuel or Turpentine oil
As a rule - yes. A boat will use less fuel/mile than an airplane for a given amount of cargo.
i have a 1972 sears alluminum boat type 2 hull 2 prop 4 fuel 4 use 1 what does that mean.
Some use unleaded gasoline/petrol and some use diesel. All depends on the engine in the boat. I'd imagine there are probably even some alternative fuel options available now.
Merc's use a 50:1 mix
To drain bad gas from a 1998 boat, first, ensure the boat is on a level surface and turn off the fuel supply. Locate the fuel line and disconnect it from the fuel tank, allowing the old gas to flow into a suitable container. If equipped, you can also use a fuel siphon pump to remove the gas. Finally, replace the fuel filter and refill the tank with fresh gas before restarting the engine.
Boat fuel consumption is based more base upon gallons per hour. A 31' cabin cruiser with a moderate V8 gasoline engine may consume up to 3 gallons per hour at 3/4 throttle. Standard outboards are much thriftier.
