A 140-fwhp diesel-powered wheel loader will be used at an asphalt plant to move aggregate from a stockpile to the feed hoppers. The work will be steady at an efficiency equal to a 55-min hour. The engine will work at full throttle while loading the bucket (32% of the time) and a three-quarter throttle to travel and dump. Calculate the fuel consumption using the engine consumption averages and compare the result to a medium rating in Table 12.2. (4.3 gal/hr, 4.0 gal/hr)
