Am I in the ballpark?

Unread post by Onelife »

Hi all,
I’m trying to work out how much carburettor cleaner I should add to my fuel tank which has a capacity of 3.8ltr… based on these figures… (The recommended mixing ratio for Syprin VR51 carburetor cleaner in fuel is 250 ml of VR51 to 60 liters of fuel.)

I’m none to good with figures but I’m thinking it is in the region of 17ml to 3.8 ltr ?

There will be a box of chocolates for the first person to come up with the correct mix.

Thank you.

I'm surprised, apart from david, nobody seems to take this seriously :shock: ....please put your thinking caps on ;) ...I'm hoping that I might be fortunate enough to be the winner.....I made it 15.752

Now about the box of chocolates....If I was lucky enough to win...Onelife, please note that I have a preference for Lilly O'briens Chocolate Deserts or Leonidas Luxury Assortment but I would be happy to get a Milk & Dark chocolate selection from Fortnum & Mason
I've noticed that nobody on here seems to mention the brand of chocolates you offer so I'm hoping that you have various options.

Hi Pompy, you won’t be aware of this, but I once had a Chocolate Emporium envied around the world (a bit like my country Estate) this however changed when through no fault of my own I started having a few distribution problems… this sadly led to some bad reviews, most of which, can you believe, emanated from this forum. This was quite upsetting especially as my reputation means everything to me. :shifty: With the loss of my business, I turned to drink and gambling which became a way of blanking out the ongoing trauma I felt at not being able to continue giving forum members the excitement of expectation they had come to expect.

On reflection you’ll be pleased to hear you got pipped at the post :lol:

I did not think David would be so desperate for a box of Keithy Chocolates. 😂
Don't worry, be happy
