A question to help me size a new gas tank and figure out where to put it....
At working rpm, how many hours can the 8n run on a gallon of fuel? I know it depends on engine load and other factors... I'm just looking for ballpark number.
The work I will be doing most of the time is turning compost piles and manure piles on level ground. Run time for day will be about 2 hours at a time.
I had to retank my skid steer this way, it turned out that 1/2 gal of gas got me about 30 min of run time.... which for that machines job was more than enough. It will go a couple days before it needs its little tank filled. Saved space on the machine.
Not to mention, after 30 min it runs out f gas and thats just about the time that old thing needs to sit and cool down anyway.
