If you have a 5KVA or 3KVA power generator, how much is your gas consumption per hour usage?

The fuel consumption is related to the load being placed on the generator and the resulting "work" that the engine has to do. Just like how you need to press down on the accelerator when driving up a hill compared to driving on a flat road.
Here are some fuel consumption values for a 5500 watt Honda gasoline generator with a 4.4 gallon fuel tank.
Run time at full load = 5.4 hours
Run time at 1/2 load = 7.9 hours

Dan - Check your math 3000 lb / 7 is 428 gals - 1 gal of jet fuel is a bit under 7 lbs Your math is off 18000 gals per hour x 5 hour cross country flight would 90000 gals of fuel the weight of the fuel 630,000 lbs alone (and only military air-force C5 SG & Boeing 747-8, Super heavy lift air craft can take off w/ that load 747-8 has a total weight take off 987,000 (that includes plane - fuel - cargo pilots - every thing) Have heard that 747-8 has taken off with tw of 1,000,000 lbs (best in the world)
