Diesel generator fuel consumption depends on various factors:

Factors Affecting Fuel Consumption:

Load percentage (most important factor)

Generator capacity

Engine brand and model

Environmental conditions (temperature, altitude)

Engine maintenance status

Approximate Fuel Consumption Table (liters per hour):

| Capacity (kVA) | 50% Load | 75% Load | 100% Load |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | 8-10 | 12-14 | 16-18 |
| 250 | 18-22 | 28-32 | 38-42 |
| 500 | 35-40 | 55-60 | 75-85 |
| 750 | 50-58 | 80-90 | 110-125 |
| 1000 | 65-75 | 105-120 | 145-165 |
| 1500 | 95-110 | 155-175 | 215-240 |

Tips to Reduce Fuel Consumption:

Regular maintenance and timely filter replacement

Use appropriate load (not too low, not too high)

Turn off generator during no-load periods

Use quality fuel
