Hi,

I need the fuel consumption of various machines to build a forest road at high engine power (more or less 75% of the engine power).

Forest machine	330D FM	C9 ACERT	268hp
Log forwarder	584	N/A	274hp
Large hydrolic excavator	385CL	C18 ACERT	513hp
Small Hydrolic excavator	315DL	C4.2 ACERT	115hp
Motor grader	160M2 AWD	C9.3 ACERT	213hp
Bulldozer	834H	C18 ACERT	498hp
Soil compactor	825H	C15 ACERT	354hp

I also searched in the forum and i noticed a ratio (0.052) to convert HP in GPH, does anyone has the details of this formula?

Thank you very much for your time.

Cat has a book called the Performance Handbook.  They show the fuel consumption numbers for all the machines in this book.  You should be able to get this from the nearest Cat dealer.
