What can be expect for fuel consumption on a 7.5kw genset?  Thank you for the answers to my many questions.

As Ed's info implies, a general rule of thumb is an average of a half gallon per hour. ;)

My 7.5k genset is propane powered. What would its consumption rate be?

Thanks, Steve

 Steve,
Onan does not make a 7.5 KW propane generator, so I assume that you are referring to the 6.5 KW model that has a fuel consumption of;

No load   .5 gal/hr
Half load   .8 gal/hr
Full load    1.2 gal/hr
