Turbine Duke or turbine Baron?

In comparison the diesel conversion weighs 20 kilograms (50 lbs) less. The
entire consumption was 22 gallons of kerosene per hour, which sums up to 8
gallons less fuel consumption. For this reason the range of the Duke
increases from 1100 Nautical Miles to 2000 Nautical Miles."


Huh? So the Duke was getting 15 per side (30) and now gets 11 per side
(22)?

30 gal x 6 lbs = 180 lbs fuel/hr ...Avgas
22 gal x 7 lbs = 154 lbs fuel/hr ...Diesel (Saving 26 lbs/hr fuel weight)

I don't see how that almost doubles the Nautical Miles? Six hours of
diesel flight gets you a free hour. (6 hrs x 26 lbs/hr (saved) = 156 lbs)


Is it 30 gals ...per side? Turbo'd!

So now it's every "three" hours you get a bonus hour of fuel. Will that get
you an extra 900 Nautical Miles?

Does "entire consumption" mean per engine or ...entire, as in both,
combined? Now I don't know what "sum" means either. Oh well.
