There is a pdf file that you click on to open.
Can you see the file??

It worked for me, I could open the pdf from the link.
I'm going to print that out later to review in detail.... just looked at your bottom line.
Considering the elevated price of diesel fuel in the USA, the Yanmar did quite well in $ terms.
Thanks a lot for doing those tests, but even more so for spending the time beating on your computer to post the results !
Good stuff !

Not from my Ipad. I hate Apple stuff but it's what my work makes us use.
I will try from my phone or computer later.

Interesting. They are closer than I would have expected.
I always like to see data....
One thing that data highlights is how much fuel gets chewed up at Idle - both gens. Going to 75% (ish) load only doubles consumption from Idle.
I've been doing a little bit of work lately with portable batteries and inverters. Useful for lots of things, but esp. for running light loads for extended periods, then just running a gen loaded up, to recharge the battery.
Thnx again 90cummins !

Howdy,
Now with the weather changing. It's time to change out the fuel. Siphoned out as much as possible, ran all generators for at least 30 minutes with load. Put fresh 100% gasoline with sta-bil back in all. Trickle charge set for each battery unit. Ran PTO unit for 15 minutes with small load (4k) All set for warm weather. :cool2:
