How long will my Kohler 12RES generator run on 100lbs of LP?

I am running at about 50% load, and I don't want to run out before power is restored since this is running my sump pump, keeping my basement from flooding...|||Propane is less efficient than gasoline. I'm not sure how much it will burn.





I do know this. Air cooled engines aren't made to run constantly, 24/7. If your engine is air cooled, change the oil after 100 hours.|||100 lbs is roughly 23 gallons. If that 12 means it's a 12kw running, and you are running it at 6kw load, you can expect it to last *about* 2 days. Depending on the actual load, efficiency of the engine, etc.





Your generators manual should have a fuel burn map in it.
