  1. What Causes High Fuel Consumption In Diesel Generators?

  2. Is your diesel generator using more fuel than normal?

  3. Many different things can result in high fuel consumption in a diesel generator.

  4. We have rounded up a few of the most obvious ones below.

  5. Diesel Generator Consuming More Fuel Than Normal? Here’s Why

  6. Defective fuel injectors

  7. Bad fuel injectors are often blamed for the increased fuel consumption in a diesel generator.

  8. And, that’s true to a large extent.

  9. Problematic cooling system

  10. Another likely cause of high fuel consumption in a diesel generator is a failing cooling system.

  11. As a matter of fact, your diesel generator can overheat and stop working due to a faulty cooling system.

  12. Dirty motor oil

  13. Your diesel generator relies on motor oil to lubricate its engine parts.

  14. If it dries out or becomes contaminated, the engine will run rough and burn more fuel.

  15. Clogged filters

  16. You might not aware of it, but a diesel generator comes equipped with many filters. Such as:- • Air filter • Fuel filter • Oil filter

  17. Oil consumption will rise sharply if one of them wears out.

  18. Failing exhaust system

  19. Yep… that’s right.

  20. Exhaust system pipes, if get clogged up, can result in a sharp rise in fuel consumption in a diesel generator.

  21. Diesel Generator Consuming More Fuel Than Normal? Do This

  22. Service the generator periodically. • Check the fuel injectors from time to time and replace the faulty ones. • Don’t over or under-load the generator. • Get rid of carbon deposits. • Keep its cooling system in good working order.

  23. Wrapping Up

  24. If your diesel generator is consuming more fuel than usual, don’t ignore it.

  25. Because it could be a sign of some serious problems.
