The circuit will shave off about 1/4 HP from the alternator during normal operation, I figure. Estimated fuel consumption will go down by about 0.4 gallon per tankful, with a little over 2.2% savings. Smaller engines will see a bigger percentage.......
Are you calculating on the alternator supplying it's rate output whenever it is running? the average load will be quite low.
