According to the Kohler spec sheet, a 10RY operating at 60 Hz. consumes 
LPG cfh at % load:
     100%     68
      75%     54
      50%     44
      25%     35

My notes from other sources also say to convert LPG cu. ft. per hour to 
gallons per hour, divide by 154.3.

Hope this helps.

Cordially, Chuck
