- gb-sc-001-b.shtml quote "The initial design of the B Type called for three engines, but it was soon realised that the American Hall-Scott engines could not be produced quickly enough to satisfy demand, and so they were reduced to two. Despite disappointment at this loss of speed, it was recognised that the reduction in power did not materially affect the boats ability to perform its designated role of protection against submarines. Petrol engines were chosen because pre-war searches for suppliers of high power diesel engines suitable for marine use had proved fruitless. Petrol engines imposed a much greater fire hazard than diesel engines, although the fire extinguisher provided on the boats proved its effectiveness. The fuel capacity of 2305 gallons was sufficient to give the boat a range of 1500 miles at 12 kt, and had a top speed of 20 kt. On occasion, extra fuel tanks were fitted to the deck to significantly extend their range, and in this configuration they carried out long sea passages.".
