Question from April: For a new motor bike, the recommended ratio of gas to oil is 27:1 by volume. How much gas and how much oil are needed to fill a 14 L tank on a new motor bike? |
Hi April,
If you have 28 L of the mixture in the proper proportions then 27 L will be gas and 1 L will be oil. If you take 14 L of this mixture how much will be gas and how much oil?
