How do we calculate diesel consumption in LTR hours?
The amount of fuel will be litres per your time period and say you timed it for 2 hrs and it used 5 litres the would 5litres/2hrs which equals 2.5 l/hr.
How do I calculate fuel consumption per Litre per hour?
Or, to work it out yourself:
- Fill your tank to the top.
- Zero the trip counter.
- When you next fill up, note the mileage driven.
- Fill the tank again and note the number of litres put in.
- Divide the number of miles driven by the amount of fuel used in litres (miles per litre)
How do I calculate fuel usage per km?
You can take the cost for your fuel per tank and divide it by the kilometres driven to find out your fuel cost per kilometre. e.g. $130 / 800km = $0.16 per kilometre.
How much diesel does a 100 KVA generator use per hour?
| Generator Size (kW) | 1/4 Load (gal/hr) | Full Load (gal/hr) |
|---|---|---|
| 60 | 1.8 | 4.8 |
| 75 | 2.4 | 6.1 |
| 100 | 2.6 | 7.4 |
| 125 | 3.1 | 9.1 |
How does the diesel generator fuel consumption calculator work?
This diesel generator fuel consumption calculator gives an approximation of the diesel generator fuel consumption per hour in litres. We’ve based it on the size of the generator and the load at which the generator is operating.
How much fuel does a diesel engine use per hour?
Simple really, the more power you produce the more fuel you use. The fuel consumption rate for many makes of Diesel Engines can be found in a range between 0.380 & 0.450 lbs/hp hour; 172 & 181 grams/hp hour; 231 & 243 grams/kW hour.
What is the formula for calculating the consumption of fuel?
The formula is : Energy in output : E = P*h*d (kWh) Consumption of fuel : C = E*Ckwh (liter)
Why is fuel consumption for diesel engines more difficult to express?
Fuel consumption for diesel engines is normally more difficult to express than for petrol engines because of the vast variability in possible applications. Applications like stationary industrial, marine, automotive, and earthmoving are examples of this variability.
