There's probably a rule of thumb on this, something like 3kg/kva for medium-size gensets. (Just a WAG.)

what is the acceptable tolerence?

do we have another chance? or we are eliminated from the game with the first wrong answer?

well, the similar caterpillar genset is 18.3 tons, 18,300 kg, open, skid mounted without canopy...it is your turn to play now

if you really need accurate weight call the manufacturer, or check the manual

Uh...Prime or Standby?

Why would an insect in a larval stage need such a large genset?

I stand corrected. 18,300 ÷ 2275 ≈ 8kg/kva! You learn something every day on CR4.
