Fuel Use

If possible, you might ask AI how much fuel will be required to dig the pond and press the bricks. Perhaps this would be a good experiment to test an automated lifetrac, dig a hole and bring to the ceb press. --Dorkmo (talk) 15:37, 26 October 2025 (UTC)

+ Hey Dorkmo, that's a hard answer. AI would give you a super bad response haha.

But machines are usually hours, size of machine and force to get fuel usage. I dug a 1/8 acre pond with a 6 ton excavator which is like medium big machine 1/2 ton bucket Took about 6 hours to dig with leveling of pile. Probably was about 30-40 litres of diesel.so to get material not that much for fuel. Then there's the grinding/sifting and loading machine. Fuel is not really the issue machine cost and labour is
