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 5 models with manufacturer data, full-load consumption runs 36.72–45.01 gal/h (median 41.34); at 50% load the median is 21.62 gal/h.
At 50% load, documented tank sizes give 5.7–24.7 hours (median 9.8 h) across 3 models.
