Hi Tom

Your numbers are right on gallons and weight . We would try to fill to 13,000 gallons of H2O if we had a helper and 15000 gallons if we did not. With me firing I typically went though 10,000 gallons NB amd 8 to 9,000 SB. Nothing like turning on the wye at GC with 195-200 psi on the boiler and 1/2 of a glass of H2O when you stop with the continous blowdown running.
