Title: F4U4 fuel consumption

According to the E6B function, engaging WEP on the F4U4 DEcreases fuel consumption when compared to full throttle without WEP.

As counter-intuitive as it may be, that's actually not a bug.  It really did suck a lot less gas in wep than it did in military.  The reason for that is because the engine had to run a very rich mixture at military but at wep it's using water injection and doesn't require such a rich mixture.  As a result, when the water started to flow, it closed a jet in the carburetor and weakened the mixture which cut down the fuel flow considerably.

Is the 8 minute water supply affected by the Fuel burn multiplier?
