I do not believe this is correct. I'm using RFB and recharging does consume fuel, standing still or not. On my S-18 class boat, I figure to get 2 or 3 charge cycles for 1% fuel. You may not see how much you are using, as the guage does not allow for it, but it is being consumed. Half your engines run at flank until the battery is fully charged.

Probably you're right, specially that I noticed fuel cover lower than expected. Well, to correct myself, recharging does consume diesel whether parked or on the move.
