[QUOTE="suffolksmallholder, post: 5165390, member: 1498"] I was confined to the engine room of an elderly Thames sailing Barge some years back. The fuel tank was dodgy so we rigged up a pipe-and-funnel system to keep the old Gardner 6 pot running. I was surprised at how much had to be run into the old girl to keep her on 'steady' revolutions. 600 RPM was the norm & it was certainly several litres a minute. Personally I hate leaving any machine on tick-over as I regard this as a waste & not good for any engine & you'll save several pounds in a day if you do pull the stop button of use the switched solenoid!
