Ecomod my generator

Can a screaming diesel generator be more efficient than new tech gasers?
This is the best generator test video on the Internet, ever.
https://youtu.be/5n1sPy3Al6M

Numbers to best:
1 Can the generators even run a 1,500w load for 30 minutes?
Honda yea, HF no, sketchy no-name of course not.
I'm pretty sure mine can, it's a 320cc, about 6hp engine with a 3.3kw generator.
2 assuming it holds the load how long does 16 ounces, 480 miltimiters of fuel run a 1,500w load for?
Only the honda could hande it and ran the 1,500w load for about 32 minutes.
I have no idea how the diesel would do. The diesel engine should stomp the gas generators in this test if the diesel engine and generator are even 25% efficient.
3 the 500w load test with economy mode off, how long will it run off 480 miltimiters?
The 112cc honda power house, 43 minutes. No-name ran 51 minutes, HF did 55 minutes.
Can the diesel compete with this, maybe.
4 the 500w load test with ecomode on with 16 small imperial units of petrol.
The Honda, no-name and HF all ran dry with in about 2 minutes of each other, say 62 minutes is the time to beat.
I seriously doubt the diesel can beat that.

Can it run vegetable oil? We're going to find out.
