    Calculation of Savings

    The document calculates the fuel cost savings from converting a diesel generator to dual fuel operation using gas and diesel. It finds that operating the generator at 75% load currently uses 830 liters of diesel per hour. Converting to use 60% gas and 40% diesel would use 332 liters of diesel and 517 cubic meters of gas per hour. This dual fuel operation would save over 13,000 taka in fuel costs per hour and over 7 million taka in fuel costs per month compared to diesel-only operation. The conversion cost is estimated to be 23.4 million taka and would be returned within 3 months of fuel cost savings.
