Fuel Usage

I appreciate the help on the generator situation.

Charlie N's fuel usage number was spot on with .035 x HP.

I figured a 20KW generator would use about 40HP with losses, his number came out at 1.4GPH which is really close.

What is the average Kwh use, surely not the full capacity. Was that factored in? Jim

I do not know, would assume 10KW, AC on.

harlie also said, "flywheel HP", not load HP.

Answered in your other post but you 6610 holds 21 gallons, if it used a little over half tank in the 10 hours you mentioned, let's say 12 gallons that would equal to 1.2 gallons per hour.
The amount of load on the generator determines how much fuel usage your have.

I am super impressed, it is just running along sipping fuel.

Tractor needed running anyway.
