George,

 

I put in less gas than the fuel used says has been used. It is about 1 gallon per hour (at cruise) less usage than the fuel flow says.

Lynn,

Something "doesn't fit".

IF you were 103d LOP - - - at 18.9 gph, the MP would have had to be
up around 36" . It wasn't.

I suspect that your fuel flow gage is in error. But it could be some
other issues.

Have you calibrated your fuel flow against the gas pump re-fill volumes
?

George

When I was being checked in the plane out by Orin Ridell he did a "GAMI"
check. I believe the # 5 EGT peaked at 1528 F. That is what I've used as
the reference EGT for adjusting to lean of peak. Based on that, this
flight was 103 F lean of peak.

Why am I getting the feeling that I may have been operating using
incorrect procedures/data?
