Note: All values in this chart are an approximation of the fuel
consumption of a “generic” diesel generator based on the size of the
generator and the operating load being placed on it. Actual consumption
may increase or decrease based on multiple factors such as the
equipment brand/manufacturer specifications, fuel quality, equipment
condition, and operating environment.
