Many customers consider fuel consumption when choosing a generator set, and many users are not familiar with the numbers marked on the parameters before making a choice. For example, a 5KW gasoline generator set is labeled with a fuel consumption of 540g/KW/h, which means that 540g of fuel is consumed per kilowatt hour. Many customers may think that this generator is 540g per hour. Actually, it's not like that. It's 540g and 1KW per hour, which means that when this machine is fully loaded, 1 kW is 540g and 5 kW is 540g. Of course, many customers may think that the generator consumes too much fuel, but what I just said is that it is calculated under full load. So the actual fuel consumption cannot reach that much, because the generator with equipment will have a starting current, so generally buying a 5 kW gasoline generator will not use all 5 kW. Also, if the power of the equipment you are carrying is not large, the oil consumption of the generator is only 1/3.
So when it comes to fuel consumption of the generator set, there's actually no need to worry too much.
