It says on the website that it burns fuel at a rate of .278 lbs/hp*hr at maximum power. At 108,920 hp * .278 lbs/hp*hr, the fuel consumption is 30280 lbs/hr. The engine is most likely burning IFO-380 fuel oil which has a specific gravity of .96. If water weighs 8.33 lbs/gallon, IFO-380 weighs .96*8.33 or 8 lbs/gallon. Therefore, 30280 lbs/hr * 1 gallon/8lbs = 3785 gallons/hr
