I ran our 60 liter Diesel genset yesterday for its monthly exercise. At 900 rpm it burns 16 gallons/ hour and is between 10 and 20% load. Normal engine speed is 1800 rpm, with no electrical load it burns 25 gallon/hour. There is a log of engine load over its life. All of our no load runs seem to fall in the 10 to 20% range. Just for you ecomodders it burns 125 gallons/hour at rated output of 2 megawatts. The four huge turbos sure sing at 2 megs.
