Check the fuel level: Make sure that the generator has enough fuel to operate. If the fuel level is low, add more fuel and try starting the generator again.   Check the fuel lines: Inspect the fuel lines for any signs of damage, cracks or leaks. If the fuel lines are clogged or damaged, they will need to be repaired or replaced.   Check the fuel filter: A dirty or clogged fuel filter can prevent fuel from flowing to the engine, causing the generator to not start. Remove the fuel filter and inspect it for any signs of dirt, debris, or blockage. If the fuel filter is dirty, it will need to be cleaned or replaced.   Drain the old fuel: If the fuel in the generator is old or has been sitting for a long time, it can cause the generator to not start. Drain the old fuel from the tank and replace it with fresh fuel.   Check the carburetor: The carburetor is responsible for mixing fuel and air to provide the engine with the proper fuel-to-air ratio. If the carburetor is clog...

  When using a diesel generator set, many users are concerned about its fuel consumption. In general, a 500KW diesel generator set consumes about 127 liters of fuel per hour, and the size of the load has little impact on it. However, higher loads result in higher throttle and greater fuel consumption, while smaller loads result in smaller relative fuel consumption. The key to fuel efficiency lies in proper maintenance and good condition of the diesel generator set. If the cylinder liner and piston are worn, fuel consumption will be affected. It is also important to consider the performance of the diesel generator set itself.   To calculate the fuel consumption of a 200KW diesel generator set operating for eight hours, we need to know the specific diesel engine that is used. For example, a 6 cylinder Cummins Engine 6LTAA8.9G2 is commonly used for a 200KW generator set. The fuel consumption of diesel engines generally about 220 g/kW/h, depending on the brand and machine. For in...

How to choose the fuel for diesel generator sets? Most users may only know that they need to use diesel, but do you know what kind of diesel to use? The main fuel for diesel engines is diesel. Diesel is made from petroleum after refining and processing. Its main characteristics are low autoignition point, high density, strong stability, safe use, and low cost, but its volatility is poor. When the ambient temperature is low, the diesel engine is difficult to start. Light diesel is used for high-speed diesel engines, and heavy diesel is used for medium and low-speed diesel engines. The properties of diesel have a great influence on the power, economy and reliability of diesel engines.   The following are suggestions for selection   The performance, specifications and selection of diesel The lowest temperature at which diesel spontaneously ignites without external ignition is called the autoignition temperature of diesel. The autoignition performance of diesel is expressed by th...

Factors Affecting Diesel Generator Fuel Consumption and Methods for Reducing Usage   When managing diesel generators, understanding the factors influence that diesel generator fuel consumption can significantly impact operational costs and efficiency. Factors such as load, engine condition, and environmental conditions play essential roles in the amount of fuel a diesel generator consumes. This article outlines these factors in detail and provides actionable solutions for reducing fuel consumption in diesel generators. 1. Load-Related Factors   Load Size: Diesel generators operate most efficiently when they are near full load, as the engine’s design works best close to its rated capacity. At lower loads, the generator uses more fuel to maintain auxiliary systems, even though the generated electrical output is less. For instance, a 1000 kW generator operates more efficiently at a 1000 kW load than at a 200 kW load, as low-load operations lead to higher fuel consumption d...
