This data was taken from the pilots notes for TZ

TZ has a Single Tank - the maximum fuel load for aerobatics is 16 gallons.

Tank	Imperial Gallons	Litres	Kg
Total Capacity	25.8	117.3	84.4
Usable Volume	24.0	109.1	78.5

 
 

Consumption	Imperial Gallons per hour	Litres per hour	Kg per hour	Cost per hour  (£1.92 ltr)
Normal Cruise	6.6	30	21.6	£57.60

The above data is based on recent experience and is a guide only. The graph below gives
a broad indication of duration based on consumption per hour.

Cost savings tips:

We pay for our flying time based on the engine taco meter.  The faster the engine speed the greater the taco time which results in your higher bill.  Setting to normal cruise of 22/22 should  give circa 30 ltr/hr.
Use the exhaust manifold temp guage to set most efficient lean setting.
