Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Estimate the hourly cost of running two pieces of equipment: a 300 horsepower gasoline engine at 0.06 gallons per horsepower hour with a fuel price of $3 per gallon.

💡 Hint: Calculate total consumption before applying the fuel price.

Question 2

A construction site can operate a diesel engine 60% of the time at full load. If the unit cost of diesel is $2.50 and the standard consumption rate is 0.04 gallons per HP hour for a 400 HP engine, calculate the total fuel cost per hour.

💡 Hint: Don't forget to adjust the horsepower usage according to the operational efficiency.
