Gentlemen
For information only
I have a Mainship 34t with a Kohler 8KW.
I wanted to know how much it cost to run the generator, so I made a test.
I have a level gauge on my fuel tank which I calibrated to give me fuel usage.
I ran the test during a cruise for 12 hrs with Refrigerator and both AC's on ( ie. full load.)
My results was .4 gal of Diesel fuel per hour. at ~ $4.00 per gal. comes to ~ $1.60 per hour...not bad.
