On-Board 240 volt power

[Keith Morris]

"tanks" here---
I have an ODIN petrol built-in 240 volt 4kva generator, with remote control in the Leisure Seeker.
Can any forum member tell me approx how much petrol it uses per hour of running.
The W'bago has a ULP tank at the rear dedicated to the generator.
There is no fuel gauge for the ULP tank, and I don't know its capacity, but I think it holds about 40 litres.
I understand the more looad I put on the generator, the more fuel it will use, but I am just after a rough ballpark figure.
Perhaps another member has had some experience with a petrol model.

You are virtually asking how long can you stretch a rubber band here Keith.

My Honda EU20i holds about 4.5 litres and will run 5 hours with the aircon on.
Probably run 8-10 hours just charging the batteries etc on idle.

There is your ROUGH five to ten hour guide for a 2kW generator.

I understand that dawg, but I feel that the Odin 4 kva will use more fuel than a Honda 2 kva generator [so to speak]
Likewise a mini-minor will use less fuel than a supercharged Jaguar to run the same distance.

Keith are you sure it's not an Onan?

That's the one Bruce.

Gasoline
60 Hz 4.0 KY

No load 0.3 Gal/h (1.1 L/h)


Half load 0.5 Gal/h (1.8 L/h)

Full load 0.7 Gal/h (2.7 L/h)
Give you a rough idea perhaps Keith?

Thanks BruceS -- that gives me a bit of an idea. That equates to around 4 litres per hour in rough figures.

The supercharged Jaguar will probably use less fuel than the Mini Minor because the Jaguar will stop just after it gets out the gate.

Yes Steve, that's to pick up the chicks.
