Consumption = Hours × Rate (L/hr) × (Load % / 100)

Calculates total fuel used by multiplying running time by the consumption rate, adjusted for actual load.

A generator consuming 5L/hr running for 10 hours at 80% load uses 40L of diesel.

Diesel engines are efficient but their consumption varies based on mechanical load and runtime.

Monitor your consumption to identify potential engine issues early.

It varies by engine size; small generators might use 2-5L/hr, while large industrial ones can use over 50L/hr.

Yes, running at 50% load uses significantly less fuel than 100% load.
