Figures from each model’s own manufacturer documentation (spec sheets and manuals); runtime = documented tank capacity ÷ consumption at 50% load. Verify against the datasheet for your exact configuration.
Across 14 models with manufacturer data, full-load consumption runs 2.62–36.59 gal/h (median 29.76); at 50% load the median is 15.19 gal/h.
At 50% load, documented tank sizes give 50.6–50.6 hours (median 50.6 h) across 1 models.
