Coolpower Fuel

[Tony]

Local model shop will have no Coolpower 10% for two weeks. Any suggestions
who I can order from so I can have some spare fuel for the weekend.

What about mixing a gallon of 20% with a gallon of 0% ,this should equal 10%
between the 2 gallons, then you have 2 gallons of 10% to be going on with..I
think the 20% mix has more oil in it , or so i'm lead to believe.
This method was suggested recently when Skyline ran out , should be ok.
I'll let the fuel wizard boffs tell us why not !

Absolutely correct. To use a metric example (get with the times you guys
over the pond!!), it goes like this (assuming both lots of fuel have 20%
oil):

For one litre of 20% nitro fuel:
200ml nitro (20% of total of 1000ml)
200ml oil (20% of total of 1000ml)
600ml methanol

For one litre of 0% nitro fuel:
200ml oil (20% of total of 1000ml)
800ml methanol

Add 'em together and you get:
200ml nitro (10% of new total of 2000ml)
400ml oil (20% of new total of 2000ml)
1400ml methanol

Easy as 2 + 2 :-)

You're joking Bonko. ANYONE can use the metric system :-)

btw, we've used metric measurements for donkey's years. We can't actually
buy a gallon of petrol at the pumps anymore, but at least when we could, it
was a REAL gallon, not like the Ami gallon which is less than a real one.
(Isn't that place on the other side of the pond though?? :-)

There are three kinds of people in this world;

Those that can count and those that can't . . .

Hey, on this side of the pond we are metric where it counts . . . our MONEY!

Loosing a few pounds has a whole different meaning over here.

And I'm in the second half of those three.

In fact there are 10 kinds of people in the world, those that understand
binary and those that don't...
