Hi guys, approximately how many hours do you get out of a full tank (5 gallons) of diesel on a MEP-802A under load? Thanks.

Hi guys, approximately how many hours do you get out of a full tank (5 gallons) of diesel on a MEP-802A under load? Thanks.

According to the TM, .57 gallons at rated load so 7-10 hours for a first estimate until you gather real data when running under your load conditions.

Yeah easy 8 hours, 10-12+ easily under lesser load.

Took me a few minutes to find the link. TMs (Technical Manual) are in a forum here and your TM is at this link: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/upload/Generators/TM5-61115-584-12.pdf

I'll be your best friend!

Fully loaded .5 gallons per hour so 10hrs. Under very light load you can get up to 14hrs. I've done a lot of testing on the 802a and 803a's for fuel consumption.

Average of 1/2 gallon per hour - great! Thanks Jamawieb.

From the manufacturer, more technical data if desired.
