Ben, I misunderstood the 310-to-240 derate... however, even with that
change, YOUR numbers still do not work. In your first post (the one I
was replying to...(you changed to 12.6 in this last post)) you stated
fuel flow of "...11.8-12.3 an hour...". If one uses 12.3, this
computes to (12.3 x 5.85)/240 = 0.3
If one uses the 11.8 number, this computes to (11.8 x 5.85)/240 = 0.29
BSFC.

Now, to say something nice..... I found the photos of your engine
installation to show nothing less than beautiful workmanship!!
Regardless of how the numbers shake-out, it is a conversion to be proud
to show.

What is the fuel used in that engine - autogas, 100LL?
