    I'm trying to find how much kerosene I'm burning per hour. My burner is a Riello 40 type 437T1. On the online manual it says: Fuel - Gas oil 35 sec max. viscosity 6 mm2/s at 20 °C Kerosene 28 sec. It's a single stage burner. I don't use a thermostat in the home, we just turn it on for an hour or so if it's getting cold. The manual I'm using can be found here: RIELLO BURNER SITE ADDRESS with (I can't post links) /lumo/upload_documents/riello_290236641.pdf
    I don't know if any more info is necessary but just ask if so. Thanks in advance.

    It will depend on the nozzle pressure & the pump pressure.

    Assuming it's a 0.65US Gal/Hr nozzle set to 8.5 bar pressure, it will use approx 3 litres of kerosene per hour if continuous use or if you prefer to the time the number of minutes it actually runs for within that hour, it would use approx 0.05 litres per minute.
