how long does a generator last on a full tank



The running of any generator depend on the tank size of the generator and the rate of power consumption.
A portable generator running at 50% load or 25% load will likely last longer than when the load is 100% .
A portable generator at 100% load  and a tank size of 5 gallons will likely run longer than a gen at 25% load and a fuel tank size of 3 gallons.
Therefore the hours a generator can run non-top depend on the tank size of the generator,
This is often related to the gen size, 12000watt gen is likely to have a fuel tank size of 10 gallons whereas a 1000watt generator is likely to have  a tank size of 1 gallons.
The 2nd factor i amount of power of consumption or you r load, if you are using a generator at 100% load it is likely to run for a shorter time , even if the generator has a large fuel tank size , likewise if you are running a generator at 25% load it is likely to run for a longer even if it a has a small size fuel tank.
The run time of a portable generator is proportional to the fuel tank size or and your power usage.
But the most common reason for  a generator to run for a longer time is the  power of the generator which is also proportional to the fuel tank size. This is why most large generator have larger than size while smaller generator have smaller tank size.
For example tailgator 900 watts has a running time of 5 hours, dirty hand tool 10117, also has a running time of 5 hours while  gpg10000ew , green-power generator, 7500 watt gen has a running time of 7 hour,
Therefore if you the very important thing to observe is that most large watt generator are needed for large power using , while lower watt generator are needed are small power usage, , but above all large watt gen are likely to run for longer time than small watt generators.
