Webasto Fuel Consumption

[Jamie Bradford]

I am sure someone knows this . What is the fuel comsumption of a Webasto?

[tdelorme]

Yea, Jamie, it's cold over here too. Fourteen degrees at 6 this morning.
Hopefully, someone can tell us how much fuel a Webasto uses when it's running, and I'm going to guess it's a big number. Something like 5or 6 gallons for an hours run time will not surprise me. I hope it's less but no matter what the number is, I'm keeping mine fired up and set on 55 degrees.

I just spent 5 weeks in MD and Va and it was cold a good bit of that time. I averaged about 12 to 15 gallons a week over the whole 5 weeks.

I had filled up just before parking and when I left to come back to Florida I filled up again. I only had about 200 miles on the tank, so I used 7MPG for the 200 miles, subtracted that from the fuel I put in and came up with 12 to 15 gallons a week for the AuqaHOT.

If you want to play it safe, I would guess 20 gallons a week would be pretty close to as bad as it could get.

Jamie,

Mel must have a special super charged framulator installed on his to use 5 -6 gallons an hour!

Webasto says .4 GPH.

5. How much diesel fuel does an Aqua-Hot use?
Our customers tell us they typically use 1 - 3 gallons of diesel fuel per day for all of their heating needs. The diesel-burner's fuel consumption is actually rated at a half a gallon of fuel per hour when operating continuously. We always like to emphasize, however, that a customer must be in sub-zero temperatures with the hot water running non-stop for the heater to operate continuously.

Well a little good news is nice. The darn thing sure sounds like it's burning more than that. I think I'll go bump it up a degree or two being the big spender I am.

Mel the truth is out-- you can't hide money. -- turn up the thermostat-Loc is subsidizing everyone with a bus.

Sure are bunch of whiners about the weather over on the other thread. Seems like most of 'em are from Georgia.

The DBW2010 uses .35 gallons per hour when running. Found on the Marathons.

The DBW2020 uses .6 gallons per hour. Usually installed in the Liberty's as their owners are known to be thin skinned.

Mike, I dated women in college that consumed more than that per hour! Just Ken....no Ellen on this one.
