Onan 8000 Fuel Usage

akadeadeye Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: San Antonio, Texas Posts: 661	I am curious as to how much diesel fuel my Onan uses when in operation. I know it will depend on the load, but, let's say the air conditioners are on/off all night in moderate weather and we are dry camping. Will it use as much as a gallon per hour?

This should take you to a page with specs for your generator. Cummins Onan Sammie __________________ 2006 Journey 36ft, Cat C7 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee " A Job Begun is Half Done "

No Load - 0.13 gph (.49 l/h) Half Load - 0.49 gph (1.85 l/h) Full Load - 1.02 gph (3.86 l/h) __________________ 2007 Newmar DSDP 4023 Discovery is seeing what everyone else has seen and thinking what no one else has thought.
