In retrospect, these are stupid questions.
I wanted the Generac anyway to use for a standby generator at one site,
but at a different site I have a temporary need to run on generator for
about a month while I wait for the power company to hook up our new
service...there's only about a 200 Watt load. Given the fuel cost of
running the Generac continuously for a month, it will be cheaper to buy
a separate portable generator.
nevermind.

Subject: [AFMUG] Generator runtime on very light loads
Generac tech support could not answer this question for me:
What will my fuel consumption be a 1% load. I am looking at a 16kw
Generac Guardian. Which has a 992cc engine and the spec sheet says
will be consuming 1.99gal/hour of propane at 50% load. I'll be at 1%
load and want to know how much fuel I would consume per hour.
Or maybe a different question: What's the minimum amount of fuel it
takes to keep a 992cc engine running at 3600RPM?
