Your last generator Maintenance Run

[DEWFPO]

Gasoline per Google weighs approx 6.25 lb/gallon (100 ounces) which it consumed at the rate of 9.39 ounces / 265.54 grams per hour.

Perhaps I'm misreading what your trying to say but 1 gallon = 128 ounces.

I’m referring to ounces (weight) not volume.
1 gallon of gasoline weights approximately 100 ounces.
All measurements are weight not volume

Ran a couple of fuel consumption tests on my Honda EU2000i and I'm quite pleased/surprised at the hours per gallon that I can power the 1/4 hp high efficiency blower motor for my wood furnace along with the living room lights & tv.
The load per my killawatt meter varied between 490 & 594va.
The test ran 202 minutes (3.37 hours) and consumed 31.6 ounces / 894 grams of fuel by weight.
Gasoline per Google weighs approx 6.25 lb/gallon (100 ounces) which it consumed at the rate of 9.39 ounces / 265.54 grams per hour.
To measure the fuel consumed I placed the auxilary 3 gallon fuel tank that was connected to the Honda on my digital postal scale for continious monitoring recording the start and finish weight.
The killawatt meter showed that 1.5 kw of power was used.
According to my calculations with the load mentioned above it will operate for 10.68 hours and produce 4.76kw per gallon of gasoline.
Listed below is the basic data I obtained my figures from.
Hours run = 3.37 (202 minutes)
Grams fuel consumed = 894
Ounces fuel consumed = 31.6
Hours/gallon = 10.68
Gallons/hour = 0.09
Kw consumed = 1.5
Kw/gallon of gasoline = 4.76

You can稚 beat a Honda Generator for efficiency especially an inverter

we had a power pole snap a few days ago and power was out for 5 hours. the generator kicked in and the clock on stove was only off by 1 minute. cant beat that. We were away at the movies at the time, but it was 17F outside. It was nice knowing that the horse waterers didnt freeze up in the cold. My water trough only hold 1 gallon of water and are heated. it wouldnt take too long for them to freeze. House was nice and toasty when we got home.

its a great piece of mind to know its automatically protected. the only way i even knew the power was out was because the neighbor called me to pick my brain why his portable generator wasnt working. i helped him get it started over the phone. Hes wanting to put in a generac system soon.

Thanks 90.

High resolution data - good stuff :thumbsup: With that level of instrumentation and a constant load, I wouldn't be surprised if you could distinguish runtime between using pure gasoline, and E10.

Not that I'm wishing E10 on your re-incarnated Honda !

Like the tag line on the old Mastercard commercial - priceless.

Now a daze, I'm closer to home most of the time. If I was still traveling like I used to for work, I'd probably have put an auto-start system in by now....

Perfect, if ya got it let it shine!!!

We had a major ice storm several years ago so I started my 25kw pto generator & turned every Christmas light on along with every other light in and on the house.
My wife said that the drive home from work was total darkness until she came around the corner and saw our house lit up like a beacon.
She came in & said you can't do that and proceeded to turn all the lights off.
I was enjoying my creation until she shut me down.
Everyone up & down our road has a generator now.
Just sayin!
