For tonight, figure out how many joules of fuel energy we need for one cycle of one cylinder based on the watts ( joules /sec) required to produce 241 Nm (or joules per radian) at 3000 rpm.

The cylinder is one of six and only fires once every two revolutions. Assume 100% efficiency and we'll correct for that tomorrow.
