Generator fuel

Fuel is part of the rental plan, not an afterthought. Tell us how long the generator will run and we plan the supply.

What to plan

Match the fuel to the generator

Inverter and portable units usually run on petrol. Towable, industrial and heavy-duty sets run on diesel.

Estimate the runtime

Consumption depends on the load. See fuel and runtime.

Plan for cold weather

Diesel and batteries behave differently in the cold. See cold weather.

Store fuel safely

Use approved containers and keep them away from the generator and heat. See generator safety.

Fuel is priced as its own line in your quote, based on the amount and the current fuel price.
Do I have to buy fuel from you?

No. You can arrange your own fuel, but we can supply it so the generator arrives ready. Ask in the quote form.

How do I know how much I need?

Tell us the generator class and how many hours a day it will run. We estimate the amount for your quote.
