Generator fuel & runtime log

Recording tool

Hours on the meter and fuel in the tank, kept per set — so you know how long it ran and whether it will run again.

Two generator records, and why they are not one

The generator test log records the exercise: that the set ran, under load, for how long, and what the transfer switch did. This page records everything between exercises — the hour meter creeping up, the tank going down, the delivery that filled it, and the outage that made it run at three in the morning. Merging them would leave one history where an inspector expects two, and would quietly turn every fuel reading into a claimed load test.

No number in the box, again

There is no minimum fuel level here and no service interval. What is enough fuel depends on the load you expect the set to carry, for how long, and how fast your supplier can get a truck to you; what the service interval is comes from the engine manufacturer and whoever maintains it. Both of those are answers a template cannot have, and a wrong one printed on a record gets read later as a finding.

It is the same generator everywhere else in the product

Register the set once and it is the same equipment the equipment service record, work orders and the warranty tracker already know about — so its runtime, its services, its repairs and its warranty are one machine's history rather than four lists that have to be cross-referenced by name.

A record of readings you took. CompliMaint states no minimum fuel level, no service interval and no run frequency, and makes no determination that any generator will start, carry load, or that any facility is compliant. Everything runs on your device.

Questions people ask

Is this the same as the generator test log?
No, and keeping them apart is the point. The generator test log records the exercise — that it ran under load, for how long, and what the transfer switch did. This one is the running record between exercises: the hour meter, the fuel level, what went into the tank, and why it ran. Two different records, two histories, and a fire marshal asking for one is not asking for the other.
What fuel level should I keep the tank at?
This tool states none. Minimum fuel levels come from your authority having jurisdiction, from the load you expect the set to carry and for how long, and from your fuel supplier's delivery lead time — and none of those is something a template can know. Record what the gauge said; deciding what is enough is yours.
Does it work out fuel consumption or a service-due date?
No. Gallons per hour and a next-service reading are both derived numbers that need assumptions about the set, the load and the manufacturer's interval — assumptions this tool has not been given, and which a wrong answer would make expensive. It keeps the readings; the engine's own manual and whoever maintains it set the intervals.
Can I record diesel fuel deliveries here?
Yes — fuel added is one of the readings, and there is a yes/no for whether a delivery landed that day, so a tank top-up and a routine reading are distinguishable later. What the fuel cost belongs on the vendor bill tracker or the expense log, which are the tools that hold money.
