Yeah, I have been watching my fuel like a hawk. It just sits there at about the 3/4 mark without seeming to move. I rarely go above 1/3 and then only for short durations. I submerge frequently and go for 30km on batteries then up at slow or 1/3 for 50km.

This is my first patrol with this boat so I am trying to get the most km out of the fuel available. I was trying to figure out how that gas gage in the command center works. There are three vertical posts & one of them has a yellow band on it. I guess that drops with the available fuel in the tanks. It just never seems to go below 3/4.

I keep asking "how far at this speed can I go" question, but it keeps changing
figures on me...even at the same power setting...one time it is more the next time more still..then it is some low ball figure...

I guess it is all just a big mystery...
