How the Excavator Fuel Calculation Works
This calculator estimates fuel use based on engine power, work load, operating time, and fuel type.
- Formula: Fuel Rate = 0.2 × HP × Load Factor
- Load Levels: Light (0.35), Moderate (0.65), Heavy (1.0)
- Excavator Type: Mini, Standard, Large (helps user context)
- Fuel Cost: Optional input to estimate operational expense
- This is an approximation. Real usage varies with terrain, operator habits, idling, and maintenance.
