What does one fuel oil equivalent @kiloliter represent?

It is the energy released by burning one kiloliter of a reference fuel oil, used to standardize energy content measurements based on volume.

Why convert fuel oil equivalent to horsepower (metric) hour?

This helps translate fuel quantities into mechanical energy output measures, which is useful for efficiency evaluation and operational planning.

Can metric horsepower hour be directly compared with other horsepower units?

No, metric horsepower hour differs from other horsepower versions, so unit consistency should be checked before comparing.
