Running a diesel generator generally costs more than flipping on the grid, especially when you consider both fuel and other upkeep. At full load, for example, a 20 kW diesel generator can burn around 1.6 gallons per hour, which—at today’s U.S. diesel prices of around $3 per gallon—equates to roughly $4.80 per hour For a more detailed breakdown: large-scale diesel systems operating at their efficiency sweet spot—about 65–70% load—have an electrical output of roughly 3 kWh per liter of diesel. Given that one liter is approximately $0.90, that puts the running cost somewhere around $0.30 per kWh purely in fuel terms Don't forget that maintenance, oil changes, and filter replacements add to the total, which can easily push the cost to over $0.25/kWh when fully accounted for So as a quick guide: Small to mid-size units (like 20 kW): around $4–$5 per hour Larger or more efficient units (65–70% load): about $0.30/kWh, with total operating costs above $0.25/kWh At MasterAire, we tailor power solutions suited to your application and help model both upfront and running costs—so you know what to expect in real-world use.
Diesel generator are generator that uses diesel. having the ability to withstand corrosive particles in fuel(diesel).
On an average load on a 15 kc DG is about 4 littered of diesel per hour.
is the fuel consume by the the engine
Generator will not run or miss very badly. Drain all the fuel out and drain the lines. Replace the fuel filter and fill it up with Diesel.
Put diesel fuel in it !... Then either press the starter button or pull the starter cord !
The amount of diesel used in a diesel-powered generator depends on several factors including the generator's power output, fuel efficiency, and the duration of operation. Diesel generators typically have a fuel consumption rate measured in liters per hour (L/h) or gallons per hour (gal/h).To determine the specific amount of diesel used, you would need to know the generator's fuel consumption rate. This information can usually be found in the generator's specifications or user manual. For example, a small diesel generator with a 5-liter/hour fuel consumption rate would use 5 liters of diesel per hour of operation.
Modern submarines (depending on type) use nuclear fuel for their reactors, plus a tank of diesel fuel that acts as both reactor shielding and fuel supply for the backup diesel generator. Diesel-Electric submarines use strictly diesel fuel.
