Title: How much fuel does a medium to large diesel use>
Post by: Nigel_M on Sep 22, 2026, 07:17 PM
Say, for example, a PAW .35? That's roughly 5.5cc. The control line aeobatic guys must know I hope? Also wondering about a 5cc ED or a 5cc Miles, or even the .29/5cc dieselised Merco. Anyone have any experience to share please?

In fact, it will be for R/C but on average I'm guessing a steady setting with a C/L venturi won't be far off.

Any ideas where to look on the internet? I've looked at CLAPA and the regular engine sites such as Adrian's, modelenginenews, PAW, Stalker with no luck. Maybe Barton could have helped. I not, I will have to set up and run a tank dry.

[Sorry about moving the topic if you were reading the original version.]

Thanks in hope
Nigel

You could ask Tony Eifflander. Not only does he build the large diesels, but he competed with them in CL Aerobatics in the 1990's. Contact info: https://www.eifflaender.com/contact-us
