 My little Isuzu is doing real good, I sawed 14 1/2 hours on 1 tank sawing pine with good off bearers so sawing steady. A new record for me,.   I've made it 13 hours a couple of times.  Steve

Is that the second motor your mill has had on it?

 Yes it came with a 27 hp Kohler which used over twice as much fuel and was under powered in tough wide cuts .  Still ran good with almost 5000 hours on it.  My Isuzu  has over 12000 hours now and still doesn't use oil.  Steve

I have never sawed over 12 hours but even then I was not concerned about fuel.  I have never emptied a five gallon jug into the fuel tank.

 Some claim they get by with 5 gallons of gas a day, they aren't sawing much.  I was sawing 400 bf a hour all day.  Steve

That's  impressive! Cost of diesel  is up. Yanmar isn't  quite  that good. 47hp is probably  double.
