filled to a depth of 31" at start of test and depth readings were taken every hour. The following results were obtained: READINGS OF FUEL OIL IN BARREL TIME INCHES OF FUEL REMAINING 1105 INCHES OF FUEL USED. 31" 1210 1300 1405 == 244" a7 10" 1500 3 hrs 55 min GALLONS en fn 7 Ag" " 265" 52.70 . 11,06 11.06 11.90 11.06 A total of 264 inches of fuel oil was used over a period of 3 hours and 55 mimtes or 3.9166 hours. 26% inches of fuel oil = 45 gallons; 45 * 3.9166 = 11.48 gallons per hour. 11.48 x 5.8 = 66,584 lbs. per hour 66,184 = 118 = .56 lbs. per K.W.H. COMMENTS From the results of the fuel consumption test, it is readily seen that the diesels are using more fuel per K.W.H. than they should. This is due in all probability to the use of a lower grade fuel oil than the recommended grade for these diesels and the full amount of power is not being realized from the present grade of fuel oil. With a better grade of fuel oll being used it will be possible to operate these diesels within their recommended limits of .42 lbs. of fuel ofl per kwhr. TEST NO, 3 MARCH 7, 1951 This test was made to determine the results of the power plant running for fifteen (15) mimtes with stack exhausts closed and diesels exhausting out of auxiliary exhaust, all doors 5-321
