Fuel Selection & Pricing
ⓘFuel rates are by others. For your local propane or natural gas prices, contact your local provider. If you need an introduction to a local propane supplier, ask your Eco Power representative — we have channel partners across North America. A quick note about natural gas: delivery fees vary widely by utility provider and region. 1 Cubic Meter of Natural Gas = 0.038 GJ.

Diesel Overhead Costs
DEF consumption typically ranges from 3–6% of diesel fuel volume per OEM engine manufacturer guidelines and EPA standards. 5% is standard for generator applications with variable loads. Adjust based on your specific engine manufacturer's specifications.
Diesel Load Profile
ⓘ Diesel engines require a minimum 30–40% load to prevent wet stacking and carbon buildup. When load drops below this threshold, the auto load bank activates and burns additional fuel.
