Generator ITECH RB4
Permalink  

Hi Members,

I own this generator but have never recorded the run time for one tank on an 'average load."

Does anyone own the RB4 and know the run time for one tank on moderate load?

I found an online estimate of 6 hrs for a full tank.

I realize the generator will use petrol faster with high loads.

Thank You for any considerations.

Online reviews estimate 6+ hours depending on load.

Check it after 5 hours and top up as required.

Easily measurable.

 

I did this years ago measuring new compressor fridge efficiency. Heated a spare bedroom to 35°C (in winter) & made endless measurements over 3 days.

 

Run petrol tank dry, fill with say 250ml. Run at your maximum load until dry.

 

Again run petrol tank at small load until dry.

 

A piece of cake!

Dicko and Whenarewethere, Great input! and the only way to really find out. Real life test an measure but with less volume of fuel I'll remember this approach and even pass this onto my son as a method.
