Default How long will fuel last?

Does anybody have an estimate of how much fuel will be needed to run an 80/90 motor for approx. 15mins? Offshore class which runs around 12-15min. heats.

My O.S. 90 Seaducer would do 2 minutes of milling plus 6 laps on a 1/3 mile IMPBA course with about 13 oz. of 40% nitro fuel. Less nitro will give longer run times.

That might help. Not sure how long 6 laps took...

I have a 3,4Ltr/0.9Gal./115oz tank for 30minutes race with a CMB-RS91. (and use 3,2Ltr)

So for 15minutes I'll recomment 1,6Ltr/0.43Gal./54oz minimum.
