Probably not - maybe 1lt per 'pot' (as my 2 x 6 cylinder engines (combined) use 10 litres per hour at about 1300rpm)

Ahh I wont buy it as a standby then, the eu20i still looks a better bet.

I am sure one could be fabricated, but my understanding is that it is designed to be a permanent installation, so, before purchase you would need to ensure you have sufficient room under your deck-boards.

 

Looking for a means of income generation / employment ? - moor up amongst the CMers and sell them some ''lecky  - you'll make a fortune with your floating power station.

Wouldn't solar panels produce more though?

My Sister/ BiL have a farm in Sussex  where they have developed a solar farm with 20,000 panels, (3.4Kva) I'm not sure that they could actually achieve the 1,800,000 Va that this genny puts out, but I guess that in answer to your question - YES - if you have enough of them.

Bet the CMers would complain when you turn it off at 8PM!

An engine like that will have a specific fuel consumption of about 200g/kWHr.  Or you could say 200g per hour per kW.  I used to work on a ship with four 11MW diesels.  These would use 200g x 11,000kW of HFO every hour.  That's roughly 1.5 tonnes per hour at 70% load.

So, quite a lot then?

Cheap and nasty things the V16 Mitsubishi's. Must of put over a hundred of these in around the UK.

Loads of thick black smoke on maximum load acceptance, which lasts for a few minutes. Much worse than the Cummins, CRT,  MAN and Dorman equivalents.

Once had the fire brigade attend a commissioning of several of these in Kings Cross, coz someone had seen the black exhaust smoke and thought the building was on fire. :mellow:

Fuel consumption at full load will be around 400 litres per hour.

Would I need a separate fuel tank or would the tank used for the Isuzu 42 still last a couple of weeks?

I’m sure you’d be okay for a while.
