Hey all,
I'm doing my budgeting. How much gas will my tm burn while on the job? It will be an el diablo either 20hp or 24 hp.
Thanks as always,
Mike

About 1 gallon per hour depending on the RPM you run your machine at will vary this ------------- Could somebody just clean my carpets! |

Mike, Whats the price on those El diablos? Does a bigger blower come with the 24hp? That's the one you want then..
My PowerClean 26hp seems to run a little less than 1gal hr.. Usually running at 2700-2800rpm for carpet and 2600 for upholstery and stairs.

How much gas will I burn while on the job? Lost in translation That question means something quite different over here.

You would call gas gas CH4(methane or natural gas).
Over here, we say gas(gasoline) instead of petrol.  ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |
