How to use generator fuel consumption calculator
- Check the input units and assumptions.
- Review the result and example.
IN PRACTICE
Example
5 L/h × 8 h = 40 L; 40 × 1.5 = 60; 100 L / 5 L/h = 20 h.
GOOD TO KNOW
How is this result calculated?
Fuel (L) = rate (L/h) × hours; cost = fuel × price/L; runtime (h) = usable tank liters / rate. Enter measured or manufacturer L/hour for the actual load and fuel. No universal diesel coefficient is assumed. Excludes startup and variable loads.
