% of job time this equipment is actually running. Below 100% raises the cost per billable hour — idle time still costs money, spread across fewer productive hours.
Gallons this machine burns in an hour of work — from the manufacturer's spec sheet. PMZ does not look it up: no free source covers every machine ever built, and a number we guessed at would price your fuel. Leave it empty until you have the sheet in front of you; an empty burn rate keeps whatever fuel figure this machine already carries, and nothing is inferred from it.
Green is diesel, red is gas — the pump handles. The price for each is set once, in Company Setup.
Based on your 2-year P&L review — the hours this machine needs to run annually to recover all costs.
