Default LP usage in generator.....
Hi Folks....

Anyone have a ballpark on how long a 2.5KW LP generator will run the roof AC using from a 10 gal tank filled to 8 gal?

Thanks..............fraz

Default Re: LP usage in generator.....
Should be no worse than .5 gal per hour. That allows for approx. a 15amp AC draw.

Onan 2500 LP
Average Fuel Consumption
No Load (Gal/h) 0.2
Half Load - 50% (Gal/h) 0.4
Full Load (Gal/h) 0.6
