Fuel use calculator
How much diesel does the job really take? Enter what a job used to see gallons per acre and per hour - then how much fuel, how many tank fills and how many hours the next job needs. Prefer liters and hectares? Switch to metric.

How we work it out
- Gallons per acre: fuel used ÷ area worked. In metric: gal/ac × 9.354 = L/ha (1 US gal = 3.785 L, 1 acre = 0.405 ha).
- Per hour and work rate: fuel used ÷ engine hours, and area ÷ engine hours.
- Next job: gal/ac × acres to do; tank fills = fuel ÷ tank size; cost = gallons × your price.
Based only on the job you enter - soil, speed, depth, slope, the implement and the operator all change fuel use, so a different kind of job needs its own figures. We don’t show fuel prices; use what you pay. Nothing you type is stored or sent anywhere. For other units use the farm unit converter.
