Tohatsu Outboard Motor Fuel Consumption

The chart below is designed to help you determine what type of fuel consumption you can expect from your Tohatsu outboard. Please remember that all figures are approximate only.

There are a great deal of factors that affect the amount of fuel consumption and therefore the figures listed below will not necessarily be what you will obtain. Factors such as weight, hull shape, hull condition, water conditions, etc. may drastically affect the consumption figures shown below.

The only true way of determining your individual fuel consumption is to perform your own fuel consumption "test". Take one gallon of fuel and run your outboard at wide open throttle until you run out. The time it takes to use the entire gallon of fuel is your individual fuel consumption amount and would be considered the shortest time you could go without running out of fuel.

Now do the same thing but vary the speeds from idle to wide open throttle. In other words, use the outboard like you normally would. You will now know the shortest time you can use your outboard before running out of fuel and the average or normal time it will take you to run out of fuel.

The following chart shows approximate fuel consumption at wide-open throttle.
