Water heater elements

[TURTLE]

This is Turtle.

The higher watt elements are for speed and nothing else. If your happy with a slower speed, go for it.

Well stormin he has a 4500 watt unit and wants to pull 3000, a 4500 watt unit is more effecient in itself, less mass to move than a 10000w. and he needs 3000 not 5000 40% less . A good guess is 1/2 gal per hr, not

1gph

I just ran my 7500 -13500 w gen for 2.5 hr on 1/2 gal of gas I was pulling 300 - 1200 w. Load is what determines fuel usage. At that rate , which was normal heat on- off and lights etc I could go for 40 hrs easy on 8 gal gas. Run a gen no load or it will go for days, full load 4-6 hrs
