Generator - Calculating how long they run?

is there a formula for calculating number of hours or days they will run?

 

I have one Gene with 6 engines in the 250-350 range and 1000/1000 fuel.

it can generate 450W of output and the current load is 31W (1 connection and 2 turrets).

 

it seems to run for several game days and barely uses any fuel. I want to say 4-5 game days and its down to 892/1000.

 

 

so what effects the consumption? is it like a bike? better engines means less fuel? more load equals more fuel?

There's a formula on this wiki page. The formula listed says your 1000 fuel at 31w should last about 18 hours of real time.

 

thanks for that.

 

so even though a gas engine can be 2000/2000 a generator will only hold 1000/1000?

I could see a feature where you can add external FUEL tank to make a generator run 10000/10000 :)
