Blufin, an SG of 0.8 is which fuel? Kero?

[BluFin]

(Just based it on Kero, For this exercise yes. the boat quaties dont really matter a great dealin the difference in SG.


As for what the fek is it if ya dont know ya dont need it

[BluFin]

nah!
Just gives you an idea of how much weight you add to the boat when you fuel it up
so if you put on 40 gall it weights 144 kilos / 320lbs

Hmm, so when I fuel up I'm carrying a little bit shy of half a tonne of petrol. Nice.
