Hi guys, approximately how many hours do you get out of a full tank (5 gallons) of diesel on a MEP-802A under load? Thanks.

According to the TM, .57 gallons at rated load so 7-10 hours for a first estimate until you gather real data when running under your load conditions.

Yeah easy 8 hours, 10-12+ easily under lesser load.

Took me a few minutes to find the link. TMs (Technical Manual) are in a forum here and your TM is at this link: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/upload/Generators/TM5-61115-584-12.pdf

Average of 1/2 gallon per hour - great! Thanks Jamawieb.

From the manufacturer, more technical data if desired.

Good Day: All Military Tactical Power Generators, with exception of Turbines, were designed to run 8 hours at full load on a full tank of fuel. You may get more running time with a lesser load, but there are too many variables to be exact. Down load the technical manual for your generator and it will be stated towards the front of the operators manual portion.
