Does anyone know what the fuel flow on a Kohler 8KW diesel generator is?

.8 gph at full load on 8kw Onan

.6 at 30 amps approx

 

[Bill walton]

.6 gph

Hard to say without a fuel flow meter but we've estimated between .5 and .75 gph on our Kohler 8Kw.

Varies with load.

I have a Northern Lights 6 KW on my Hunter 430. The fuel consumption varies a lot depending on the load. At very light loads it is about .2 gph. But when I'm running the AC and or watermaker , it will use .8gph.

Loren,

I have the same Northern Lights 6kw on my 420 and I have been guestimating .4-.5 gph..... but I haven't been loading it down completelyBTW... slightly off the subject... I put an 18" 'Max-Prop' on in Oct. and it seems to have increased engine fuel consumption by about .2-.3 gph at 25-27k rpm. over what the (as delivered) fixed 3 bladed prop did
