Default Navigation Question... jax's diesel expertise

joe, your Lister is producing 12 hp at 1800 rpm, or using 0.4 gal at the hp it
produces at 1800 rpm? Big difference, unless of course 1800 is max hp rpm for
your Lister.



Its a gen set and its set at 1800 rpm for the proper hertz, voltage ect..
stay at 1800 rpm with 1 lightbulb on or everything on. Still it averages 0.4 ph.




Jax is not to far off maybe 30% or so, but thats not to bad for a
Mensa genious. My lister 12 HP 2 cly diesel burns 0.4 gallons per hour
under load at constant 1800 RPM's. Thats 8 gallons every 20 hours.
