Diesel Generator Fuel Consumption Chart

Diesel Fuel Polishing

At WPP, our diesel fuel polishing service is part of our preventive maintenance program. We strive to maintain and prolong the life of your generator. Plus, it gives you peace of mind knowing that your generator is in perfect working order, and can run for hours whenever you need it.

For more information, please visit dingbo.

Our process starts by taking sample of diesel fuel from the middle and bottom of the tank.  The sample is then sent to the lab, which provides a full report on of the quality of fuel in your fuel tank.  This report is shared with you as well as recommended action steps based on the results. The report tells us which and how much biocides we should be using in the polishing process in order to get you the cleanest fuel tank possible.

Depending on your generator and fuel needs, you might need to clean your fuel more or less often. Critical backup generators, generators in harsh climates, and generators with highly contaminated fuel often require more cleaning to prevent damage and make sure they run properly.  In Houston and the Texas Gulf Coast areas, for example, it is recommended to clean and treat your diesel fuel tank every six months.   To view more information on NFPA 110 standards and recommendations, click here.

The table below outlines an approximation of the diesel generator fuel consumption per hour in litres. We&#;ve shown the usage at various load levels across a range of generators from 10kVA to 500kVA.

We hope you can get a better idea of diesel generator efficiency by using this resource.

Please note this table should only be used as an indication only. Actual usage may vary slightly due to various factors.
