DG A Check this check is preventive maintainance of DG sets(10KVA-2000KVA).
Different engines have different efficiencies but as a very rough rule of thumb a modern engine uses
around 210 litres per hour per 1000kVA. So a 100kVA uses around 21 litres / hour, 200kVA uses 42
litres / hour and so on. Each generator data sheet has the precise fuel consumption figures.
Each generator (up to 800kVA) has an internal fuel tank; normally to run for around 6 to 8 hours. We
can extend this running time by adding additional bulk storage tanks. All fuel installations must be in
accordance with EU environmental legislation, such as dual skinned pipe work where appropriate.
