    Status: offline     		Greetings,

    Could someone please tell me what the fuel consumption at full power is for K170 Kero-Start? I use a 100-oz tank and like to know how long the flight can SAFELY be?

    Many thanks in advance.

    Status: offline     		Thanks B I didnt notice with the new website update the fuel rates are not on it yet. If it helps I have the same turbine and my F-16 holds just a little over 100 oz, at full burn the engines flamed out in 3min and 37sec I set my timer for 4 minutes and by the time I land my 2 saddle tanks are empty and I just start to burn the main. I flew almost 6 mins this past weekend and landed with the main about half. I dont fly full throttle much but I do have a second timer on my radio so when the throttle is at 80+ percent it starts just in case i feel like turning and burning

    Oh I forgot to mention the 170 has a better burn rate than my last turbine, which is a nice surprise since the F-16 doesn't have a large fuel capacity.
