A gas and oil mixture 2018-09-16
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?
Thank you

Ratio of gas to oil 2015-02-02
From Chris:
I would like to find the gas oil ratio for a 2 cycle engine. I have the gallons of gas and the ounces of oil used by the engine, but I want to find what the ratio is. For example I used 5.675 gallons of gas and 5 ounces oil what is the ratio? Please explain step by step, and I understand there are 128oz in a gallon.

Segments of a ring gasket 2009-09-20
From Robert:
I am in the process of making an Excel spreadsheet in which our sales team just needs to enter the outside diameter, inside diameter, and number of segments to price ring gaskets that are too big to fit on a sheet of material and need to be cut into segments. With your help I was able to create a spread sheet that can calculate the Chord lengths, and Segment height on a single gasket segment. I am now stuck trying to come up with a formula to figure out the height of the second segment when it is stacked on the first segment, then use it to add more depending on the quantity of segments needed. I have an illustration below showing 2 segments (of a gasket that was segmented into 4 pieces) stacked together. I need to find a formula to get the dimension from "A" to "B".

Cubic feet gas to grams of gas 2009-02-11
From tim:
I was trying to convert cubic feet gas to grams of gas. Is there a formula to complete this task?

20 miles of gasoline 2009-01-18
From Roger:
I used the volume formula and found that a cylinder with a 3" radius X 8.75" height yields just over 231 cu. in. (one gallon)- doesn't seem right, but that's what I got. Then found the percent that 8.175" is to one foot and multiplied that into the number of feet in 20 miles. I'm not good at math, so I'm starting to lose myself here. The short story is I get a cylinder that is 20 miles long and only .0000387" in diameter. Is this even close to the mark?

Kilometers per liters to miles per gallon 2008-06-26

The diameter of a gasket 2007-12-01
From Jorge:
I have an application where I am using a circular silicone gasket. I have the total length but would like to calculate the diameter with the given length. What formula should be used? We receive these gaskets in a roll and cut them about 21 inches and glue the ends together to make it one piece. I would prefer to purchase these already cut and glued but require a diameter. If I had the overall diameter from a 21 inch length gasket, I can look on-line for a part that comes close to the diameter.

George and his car 2006-03-10
From Catrina:
George's car gets 3 more miles per gallon during highway driving that it does during city driving. Recently he drove 112 miles on a highway and 150 miles in the city and used exactly 10 gallons of gas. How many miles per gallon does his car get during city driving?

Gasoline in a cylindrical tank 2005-03-23
From Jennifer:

Gasoline is stored in a tank which is a cylinder on its side. Height of fuel is "h" meters and the diameter is "d". The length is "l".

I need to find the amount of gas in the tank when the height is h and also to calculate the fraction of how full it is.

Also, the part I am really confused on is this one,
E(h/d) is the error of the function of h/d, when h/d is used to measure how full the tank is. For what value of h/d is the error maximal?

Mixing gas and oil 2002-08-27
From Sherry:
how do I calculate the correct fuel ratio for a boat motor? 50:1 the oil containers only say how many ounces to add to 5 gallons of fuel to make a 50:1 ratio.(13 ounces to 5 gallons of fuel) I have a 20 gallon tank so what if I add 11.6 gallons of fuel, what formula would I apply to get the correct measurement of oil to add?
