The consumption of lubricating oil for a diesel engine depends on the operating conditions and the design of the engine. There are some averages depending on the year of the engine. Pre 1980's engine are around 25% of fuel consumption. Pre 1990 engines are around 20% of fuel consumption and more recently built diesel engines are around 1% of fuel consumption.

Generators can be run off Red or Agricultural diesel as there is no Road Fuel Duty to pay.
How do you calculate fuel consumption in diesel engine?
IT CAN BE CALCULATED THEORETICALLY & PRACTICALLY:- 1. theoretically--- For this you must know the SFC(specific fuel consumption) of the engine at the given load. for example(let us consider a diesel generator of 20 kw having SFC as 232 gm/kw-hr at 75% load) (20x0.75)x232 therefore Fuel consumption in ltrs/hr= =4.094ltr/hr 0.85x1000 here 0.75 is for 75% load 0.85 is density of diesel 1000 is factor to convert milli-litre into litres
