YOu can get the same number. Or, if I'm mistaken, you can get a difrfernet number (and please tell me the correct number). How I got em was:
Read catalog, determine for a particular generator, how many watts the generator. How many gals gasoline. The ad usually lists "hours run time at half load".
Formula is something like:
(generator wattage / 2) x hours of run time
-------------------------------------------------------- = watt-hr/gal tank capacity gals
It's been awhile since I ran the figures. If I'm mistaken, please tell me so that I can know what's right.
