Hello Ulrich, Wadinga, I am just guessing but since the KTB says EM.3 and not EM-III, perhaps it is referring to the FuMO 27 or the FuMB 4 which were installed on a separate station just over the FuMO 23. These devices might have been put ashore for some time before being finally installed in the Ti...

In a four day operation in March 42, Tirpitz and two destroyers consumed 8,100 tons on fuel oil. This involves the fuel consumed by the DD's, and it doesn't tell us how much of that Tirpitz alone consumed, but it gives us an idea of how much fuel one modern BB and escorts could consume in ~96 hours...
