Honda vs Ariens Snowblower - Fuel capacity comparison

Comparing Honda vs Ariens fuel capacity. Honda took 3.5 hrs to go from 3/4 tank to empty. Ariens deluxe took 45 minutes to go from full tank to empty.
Honda Fuel tank = 1.6 Gallons +/- Lasted 3.5 hrs under no load --say 2 hrs under work load
Ariens fuel tank = 0.6 Gallons +/- Lasted 45 minutes under no load --say 1/2 hour under load

All depends on your situation. If you're running "commercial" you definitely want a large tank. But running as a homeowner I have no issues with the smaller tank. I don't have to worry about gas going bad between storms, especially if like most places, it's variable. Most home owners would be fine with an hour of run time. I certainly wouldn't spend twice the price of the Ariens to buy the Honda because it has a larger tank.

It's unacceptable for that LCT engine to not at least give you a full hour on something that expensive. SMH

But fuel tank capacity engine cc or hp whether set to full power or idle and then compare to fuel consumption working for a non stop amount of time tune it perfectly idk there's most likely some differences causing the reason for runtime difference even fuel quality it should math out though
