I have a Cummings 250 HP emergency generator for my building and I need to find out the fuel consumption for the year. I perform monthly test and run the generator for 30 mins each month at idle speed and take readings. It says I have a fuel rate of 1.90 GPH and a fuel consumption of 5 gallons and total fuel consumption of 5 gallons. How do I figure out my monthly and yearly usage?
Do I divide the 1.90 GPH in half since I only run for 30 mins and then multiply that by 12 months ? or do I multiply 1.90 feul rate by 12 months or do I multiply the 5 gallons by 12months ? any help or direction would be great
