Fuel Problems

Hi

Its strange because when I slow down to say four knots and get the navigator to give me an estimated range at the current speed it seems to be a lot shorter distance than when I am at slow ahead which is the slowest setting on the dial and I tried going at 4 knots but seemed to be using up more fuel than when I was going 8 knots.

One other thing I stopped and met a Utanker to refuel and pressed escape and then retuned back to the patrol but the time differance was huge like 30+ days or so shouldn't it be like 1 day maximum if we are refueling ?

Cheers
