There are very small 6 cylinder and very large 6 cylinder generators
How big is yours and who built it?
you will have a bomb. your engine could explode from the increased compression of a diesel engine
Have a look at AuroraGenerators.com If it is diesel your looking at about 1 gallon per hour however likely you are not running at full load. You can expect to be using on average 0.5 gallons per hour on an Aurora Diesel Generator
The cost of running a diesel generator can vary depending on various factors such as the size and efficiency of the generator, the price of diesel fuel, and the duration and frequency of usage. On average, diesel generators consume about 0.5 to 1 gallon of diesel fuel per hour for every kilowatt (kW) of power produced. To calculate the cost, you would need to know the current price of diesel fuel, the generator's fuel consumption rate, and the number of hours the generator will be running. By multiplying these factors together, you can determine the approximate cost of running a diesel generator.
One gallon of diesel fuel is equal to 139,200 BTU. The man who invented the compression-ignition engine was Rudolf Diesel. This is where diesel fuel gets its name.
In a modern 14 liter diesel engine about 1 gallon per hour.
Diesel will always give you better fuel mileage as diesel fuel itself contains more BTU (the measure of thermal energy) in a given quantity than compared to gas.So therefore a diesel engine can extract more mileage out of a gallon of diesel fuel as there is more energy to extract out of that gallon as compared to a gallon of gas.Considering this, this is why diesel fuel prices would have to rise considerably over gas before the two would be equal on a cost per mile basis.
The average full sized diesel pickup truck gets about 26 miles to the gallon which is about 10 miles to the gallon more than a gas truck. This is due to the fact that the diesel engine is far more efficient then the gas.
i would guess 32 to 45
There is more energy in one gallon of diesel than one gallon of gasoline. To elaborate, the word "petrol" is defined in different ways in different places..... but if you have two internal combustion engines of the same displacement the diesel will produce more power than the gasoline engine, especially in 'torque' measurement
I have a 1.9 liter volkswagon engine in my 2001 beetle , 52 miles per gallon , 680 miles per 13 gallon tank , wonderful
Drain the tank and do not run the engine until you refill it with diesel. The residual gas should not be an issue once the tank has been drained.
2.8 DIESEL to the gallon
