Oil & Fuel Gas guage shot, how long will engine run on one tank

Correct , but the original post says gas gauge , not fuel gauge

Calling it a 'gas' gauge is bad enough, then he asks how long it will run on a tank of 'gas'.

Sprinklerman, you can be forgiven for not knowing EVERY 1520 was diesel powered. But good grief, Mowdyman OWNS the darn thing.

My 32hp Kubota L3200 burns a gallon per hour on average. A bit more at PTO speed with a good load.

I'd fuel it after a half day or so to prevent running out.

My "fuel" mileage varies tremendously. Will run all day long mowing. Pulling my two bottom plow in my dirt (aka concrete) runs it down fast. 8' disk is somewhere in between. My gauge sort of works, some of the time. It is the sending unit. Easy to replace but Kubota wants like $90. You can get marine versions for around $35 that should work fine. Just been too lazy to do it. Plus, the fill hole is huge. All I have to do is look and I can see exactly how much is in there.

Never had to think about this, but my gas guage on my NH 1520 is shot. Now the question is, how long will it run on a full tank of gas?

:thumbsup: : Good point! I guess the answer is "about 30 seconds". :laughing
