Couldn't get a picture of the tag it's too worn but here is a screenshot from the manual

I would agree the weights, are of the Trailer unit, in the picture. I had wondered about Fuel, but I see the tag includes that. A similar one I delivered to Oconee Nuk Station, had a tanker brought in to supply it. Most of these are for Standby, like when they take a unit off line, or a Hospital preparing for a Hurricane.
Here's one you'll probably never see > It's actually an old Locomotive unit, converted. Approximate weight with trailer, 200,000#! It was brought to Charlotte once, but wasn't used. Stored there for a year, until someone up North rented it. Cost to much to move , so it just stayed at the closest yard, until the next rental. DMV couldn't really weigh it, so they just estimated it. I have more pics, but this is only 1 I downloaded. It was being hooked up to leave Charlotte. Btw, max fuel consumption > 300 GPH:eek:

Man, and I thought my 200kw was thirsty drinking 100gal/day

I had no idea that we even owned the thing. Evidently it's been sitting at one of our plants in Georgia for a while. We recently upgraded our electrical in the plant and we added the ability to run the generator in the process. Saturday we had duke energy come out and remove the old power service so we decided it would be a good time to try out the generators ability to run the plant in an emergency. It burned around 100 gallons of fuel an hour at 85% load. I turned on one of our 250hp electric Kady Mills to see if it would handle it and to everyone's suprise it didn't flinch.

Now way the trailer weighs 93K with tri axles. It would be overloaded on every bridge in the country. The cat weighs about 16,500 3516B Industrial Diesel Engines | Cat | Caterpillar Generator about 15,000 Caterpillar SR4B 1500kW Generator End – 600V - WPP Item 6838 That is only 31,500 No way there is 60K in trailer and other electrical needs. 20K I can see.

There is an old industry rule of thumb that will keep you real close.
.078 * EKW = gallons/hour.

It will fade in accuracy at the edge of limits. In other words run your 200kW at 5kW load and it will be off. But if you are using 50kW a 200kW and a 50kW machine will typically burn almost an identical amount of fuel.

A typical industry 2MW factory package without landing gear weighs 25-30k lbs. The exhaust system will add another 5k. An enclosure will add 5-15k lbs. (A mil combat spec enclosure with 1/4" plate wall can double this). Tank will add5-10k depending on size.

Ive sold/ set a few 2MW that crept up into the high 30low 40 ton range...but that's about it.
Now that weight doesnt include fuel. And a 2MW stationary set will typically have a 3500-7500 gallon base tank...so add 7.5 lbs per gallon and its typical to get pad designs into the 50+ton range. But thats not the rolling weight. No rental packs have tanks anywhere near that large and the dual wall sub base are bottom supported by the pad and cant be lifted or transported full....and thats before you start running into issues with tanker placarding if you leave more than..X gallons in the unit prior to transport.

I have never had to run it more than a few hours under load so I'm not 100% sure how much she'll burn with my usage. My buddy who's boss I bought it from was who told me to plan on 100 gal/day. I have a 250 gal tank trailer that I keep topped off for it. I figure if I can run two days with fuel on sight, to be sure the truck can get to me by the time I run out. Or I'll go suck all the gas stations around dry if he can't :lol:

Took the dump truck offroad at asheboro's version of Mason jar. @77GreenMachine already set the bar plowing thru a big mud hole and up the hill on the other side in HIS 2wd truck , so I set my beer in the cupholder and slam shifted from 1st to 2nd, hit the hole bouncing of the rev limiter. The front tires hit the other side of the holes 14" lip at 20mph and the front tires came up 2ft. About the same time the safety bar catch decided to get out if the way and the bar dropped. The truck then landed driving the bar 6" into the ground. Meanwhile I was still going 20mph and then all of a sudden I wasnt.

Derek and phillip came around to see what I was hung up on and thought it was the piston at first. I saw it and knew what it was. Raised the bed and derek strapped it up.
After that I started off in 1st spinning. Then slammed it in 2nd, and flung the mud out of the lugs all over derek and phillip and she hooked and launched that bische up the hill without spilling a drop of my beer :huggy:



Disclaimer: no actual beer was involved. It was barely noon ya animal

If you know the brand and the engine it has or the apprx age Ive probably got a fuel consumption chart I can share

^this man speaks the truth! We moved a 3416B from one delivery point in Pineville to another and everything was drained from the 7,500 gallon tank, the 110 gallon oil pan & the 110 gallon radiator. Then everything was fogged with oil, gen wrapped in plastic & the move was only 2.5 miles.

We've also got twin turbines in Monroe that can run on diesel and/or natural gas and at full tilt burn 1,200-1,600 GPH each (depends on the ambient temp). On the rare day we run for 10-16 hours, we have two 7,500 gallon tanker trucks refueling 3 times throughout the day.

Makes good stew meat. You have to be careful though as it is so lean you can go into protein deficiency eating it as a sole source of meat. Still, it’s amazing. These are for our dogs to supplement their food so we feed less processed (store bought) dog food.
 
rabbit starvation is a thing but it isnt protein deficiency. If anything it excess protein coupled with fat deficiency.

^^ this. I knew it was something but couldn’t remember off the top of my head. Either way you need to supplement rabbit meat. Also, it’s good and good for you.
