Fuel Consumption

Liquid Propane (50% Load) - 235,000 BTU/hr. (94 ft3/hr. / 2.60 gal/hr.)

Natural Gas - (50% Load) - 206,000 BTU/hr. (206 ft3/hr.)

No Load, NG - 122,000 BTU/hr. (122 ft3/hr.)

Full Load, NG - 323,000 BTU/hr. (323 ft3/hr.)

No Load, LP - 123,000 BTU/hr. (49 ft3/hr. / 1.40 gal/hr.)

Full Load, LP - 427,000 BTU/hr. (171 ft3/hr. / 4.70 gal/hr.)

Fuel consumption rates are estimated based on normal operating conditions. Generator operation may be greatly affected by elevation and the cycling operation of multiple electrical appliances - fuel flow rates may vary depending on these factors.
