How long can I run a Diesel Power Generator before I have to stop it to give it a rest?Also, how many years can I expect a Cummins Diesel Generator to run if maintained properly?One more thing. In the spec sheet of the generator I'm looking at, it states 161 gsm/hp-hr. Is that 161 Grams per Horse Power per hour?So what does that meanHow many liters per hour does that translate too.Thanks for your answers.Greetings from Iran
The engine can run indefinitely without needing to stop for a rest provided it is properly maintained and cooled. You should change the oil and filters after every 200 hours operating time. Properly maintained you should expect at least 25-30 years operating time from the engine. Neglected and it could need replacing in less than 10. Not sure what 161 gsm/hp-hr means. Unlikely to be grams, but gallons per horsepower hour would be extremely high. Need to look further into it
