IT CAN BE CALCULATED THEORETICALLY & PRACTICALLY:-

1. theoretically---

For this you must know the SFC(specific fuel consumption) of the engine at the given load.

for example(let us consider a diesel generator of 20 kw having SFC as 232 gm/kw-hr at 75% load)

(20x0.75)x232

therefore Fuel consumption in ltrs/hr= =4.094ltr/hr

0.85x1000

here 0.75 is for 75% load

0.85 is density of diesel

1000 is factor to convert milli-litre into litres

If the van has a diesel engine, then you MUST use diesel fuel. Unleaded gasoline will destroy a diesel engine. Diesel fuel is also used as a lubricant in a diesel engine. The use of any other fuel except diesel will result in serious damage. If you have put unleaded in your diesel, do not start or drive this vehicle until you drain the tank and change all the fuel filters.If the van has a diesel engine, then you MUST use diesel fuel.
