Machine diesel consumption calculator
Check one machine for one day or one week: hours worked from the hour meter, its normal burn, and the diesel issued to it.
How the sum works
Diesel needed is the hours worked multiplied by the machine’s normal litres per hour.
The excess is the diesel issued minus that figure. A machine well above its own normal has a fault, has been idling, or the fuel went elsewhere.
Use the machine’s own recent average as normal. Catalogue figures rarely match site conditions.

- How do I calculate diesel consumption per hour for a machine?
- Divide the litres issued by the hours worked, taken from the hour meter. 78 litres over 9 hours is 8.7 litres per hour.
- What is a normal diesel consumption for an excavator or backhoe loader?
- It depends on the model, its age and the work it is doing, so there is no single figure. Track each machine against its own recent average and question sudden changes.
