20 KVW Jan Martin Generator
Ok, so here is a question I wish Peg would have asked me, BEFORE we left the rally?
Approximatly how much diesel does a 20KVW generator burn in an hour?
If you know that answer, then is it worth burning the diesel generator in a road side park overnight, Rather than paying $30.00 or more for a hook up in a campground ?
Thanks.
Again, I can't tell eveybody what a fabulous time we had at the rally, Wait yes I can..... WE HAD A GREAT TIME ! :D
Generator fuel consumption
When changing the filters recently on my 20KW with a Kubota , curiousity got the best of me and I ran it a few hours on a container graduated in ounces. 4/10 GPH with no load other than it's associated fan and pump. Light load of battery charging and one AC unit made very little difference. 12 gallons per day seems about right
It sure looks like a lot of fuel being used when measured in ounces.......
For comparison, my 6 KW Kubota diesel in another vehicle uses 3/10 GPH, about 8 gallons per day.
