Not sure about your setup...
But I have a few clients who can run their T-550’s and T-520s down
around 12 GPH..
Shees.. Takeooff power for a Straight IO 550- is only 29 gph or so..
One client of mine has a Cessna 421, GTSIO-520-H, and leans to 15 gph
each side...

Subject: [LML] Why is my fuel burn so high in my IV
????
Reading some of the posts on the LML about IV/IVP drivers. Just
wondering how they are getting around 18-19 GPH at cruze power?
I
have a straight IV with a TSIO-550-B. I usually fly around 10K feet, using 28in
MAP, 2400 RPM, Leaning to 1550 TIT, and getting 21.5 GPH fuel
burn.
What am I doing wrong? How is everyone else getting there
fuel flow so much lower?
Any advice would be much
appreciated.
Thanks,
Guy
