How much diesel does a 150 kW generator use?
| Generator Size (kW) | 1/4 Load (gal/hr) | 1/2 Load (gal/hr) |
|---|---|---|
| 135 | 3.3 | 5.4 |
| 150 | 3.6 | 5.9 |
| 175 | 4.1 | 6.8 |

How much does a diesel generator use per hour?
Diesel generators are one of the less commonly used generators, but they are more fuel efficient than propane and gasoline options. A 20-kilowatt diesel generator uses approximately 1.6 gallons per hour.
How many kWh is a litre of diesel?
10 kWh
One litre of diesel fuel (auto) has an energy content of approximately 38 MJ – which approximates to 10 kWh (using a ballpark figure) but the efficiency of conversion into kinetic energy is only about 30\% – that is better than petrol which is typically 25\% depending on the design.

Diesel Generator Fuel Consumption Chart in Litres
| Generator Size | Approximate Diesel Fuel Consumption | |
|---|---|---|
| ¼ Load (litres/hr) | Full Load (litres/hr) | |
| 8kW / 10kVA | 0.8 | 2.4 |
| 10kW / 12kVA | .9 | 2.9 |
| 12kW / 15kVA | 1.1 | 3.6 |
Is there a standard fuel consumption number for a generator?
It depends. There are no established standards or regulations governing how manufacturers measure fuel consumption for generator sets or engines. Additionally, there are no standard conditions in which these tests should be performed, therefore fuel consumption numbers reported can vary from brand to brand.
Will a 100kW generator burn more fuel than a 10kW?
For that reason, a 100kW generator will burn more fuel at 10kW than a 10kW generator set. Can I believe the manufacturer’s spec sheets when it comes to fuel consumption?
