It was built about 1929 and we completely restored it in the late1970's before building the boat.
Fuel consumption is moderate at approx.
3 to 4 gallons per hour at 600 rpm. We reach our best cruising speed when running light, however, at only half throttle or around 350 rpm. The engine weighs over 4 tons with its auxilliary equipment, starting air tank, etc. There are only about a dozen examples of this size Atlas known to exist. These engines will burn a wide range of fuel oils since the fuel injection pressure is easily adjustable by the operator moving a handle on the controls.
