HA-HA-HA- ! ! ! Whenever you talk about that thing and call it the Valdeze I think
about seeing it in that movie Waterworld..... I can't see it being the same ship, I know
it was sold for scrap just a few years ago.... I don't think anyone seeing the name
painted across the back of the ship would even know if it were the right one, and I
bet by now most would not know what happened to make it a memorable ship.....
From what I read about tanker engines they are the most fuel efficient engines
on the planet.... As far as the amount of work they get out of a gallon of fuel....
But I think they did say those engines use a few dozen gallons of fuel a minute at idle....
I think idle is 40rpm, and max is something like 200rpm..... they're on google
somewhere.... Search "Sandy's Expedition engine"
4,000 cubic inches right....?
